"And the Book says we may be through with the past..."

I've uploaded a remixed version of the first song from our demo CD which was recorded in January 2004. This song, entitled "In the name of law and order" was the first song we ever wrote as a band.

Lyrics:
"Did we take down a statue to put up a flag?
How many more McDonalds' will see in Iraq?
A king for a king, a new prison to fill,
Has the human race made it moral to kill?

Those that supress freedom do so in the name of law and order,
No countries, no leaders, no borders,
Killing in the name of law and order.
(This is not the way "authority" should operate,
Killing for profit, you say "take it" but we don't want it.)

About to follow the school into the net,
Afraid to stand out, so you nod like the rest
A trend for a trend, diversity's your biggest fear,
Watch the innocent die and don't shed a fucking tear.

Did we take down a statue to put up a flag?"

I think some of the lyrics are lifted from an Anti-Flag song, but in our defence we were only 13 or 14 at the time. The reason I remixed the song is because the original demo version distorted every time the crash cymbal was hit and also the whole thing was out of time as a result of the way the tracks were carelessly dragged into place.
