You're Already Dead (A6)
“PUNK, doo wah, or do what?. Either way it’s become a part of the grand social circus. Dance music for dickheads, or a genuine expression of our anger and our despair?. There’s such a fine line between that which simply adds to the plastic crap that engulfs our lives and that which offers vision, hope dignity and a FUTURE. Can you tell the difference?”
Written over three decades ago by the pioneers of anarcho-punk. This text seems all the more relevant today just with differently named puppets and masters.
Now republished by Active as an A6 booklet.
