Too big.
Well you must have reasons for being anti government? maybe you should start with them? Or are you just doing it to be rebels and 'cool'?
Can't say I agree with you there, my kinda songs would go a little something like: 'Establishment, establishment. They always know whats beeeeest.'
NOOOOO!!! i HATE it when peopel try to be cool by that. i was more going to write about how the government like, controls WAY to many people...but...then like, i couldnt think of any examples. see, i could write about way more stuff,...but, ya. anyways, back to the main topic.
Too big.
i don’t like it when band do anti government or anti war songs because people will buy it even if its crap because that what they believe and that isn’t right! Musically
If you write just about "Anti-government" your not going to do very well. Expand you ideas to other topics too.

If you can't think of any examples to back up your logic, then no one is going to take your lyrics seriously. You can't just go around writing songs about how the government is evil without having some basis for the argument. Without an airtight case to back yourself up, you're just saying words without meaning, and if that's what it comes to then you might as well stick to writing about a topic you can more easily relate to.Originally Posted by TidusMaster
I completely disagree with you here politically, the only thing you can do is think of how the government "opresses" you and create a hypothetical situation. Like a person, like you, trying to live life and being opressed this way. While you kind of tell out the story. Then try messing around with the instruments and make up some lyrics and stuff. I'm no musician, but this sounds right to me. If you can't honestly think of how you're opressed. Then;
1. Your arguement is terribly flawed.
2. You need to find a song-writer somewhere else.
3. The reccomended option, give up and pay attention in school or something. =/
Remember this; Keep it fresh.

My advice:
Don't even bother.
No matter how much you and Sigmund Freud want it to be, 'mother' is not a curse word.
Ditto to what Crushed Hope said
...
What kind of band are you doing again? Like Punk or Rock or Metal or something?

ya, were not JUST that. we do other songs too. its just, we ARE part anti-government. and..chrisffan(or w.e) thats not true....
wow, ok
you know what, this has turned into a topic about THE GOVERNMENT!!!!! so, ok, let me get my point across. the government makes poepoe do REALY stupid things. and you know what, i have no problem with canadian government, and all that. its BUSH!!! thats what were about. hes a TOTAL IDIOT!!!! he isnt fit to be president. he cant make public speeches, hes sending soldiers into iraq for nothing, theres no reason at all. im VERY sure that hes lieing about 9/11. and, theres so many things that he could be stopping, like, animal testing. its totally gross. go look at some music videos on youtube...
"ready to fall"-rise against(go to the uncut version, if you can)
"KILLING DOLPHINS IN JAPAN FOR FOOD"( i think this is gross also.)
and, no, im nto gonan give up music. im actually not great at expalini9gn things.
Please don't double post. -- foa
Too big.
So....are you like...Punk or..like metal or what?

I say you break the mould and sing about how favourable democracy is. Unfortunately then everyone will hate your music.
there was a picture here
It seems like you're just bandwagon jumping on this whole government hating thing rather than basing it on facts. Do some research on those claims you made. Make sure you understand all of the facets of them. Don't just go on hearsay from a friend or a crazy conspiracy theorist website or what some sucky band decided to sing about. You have to actually understand fully what you're saying if you want to be taken seriously. Saying "Bush is dumb because he is bad at speeches" isn't going to get you very far.
I'm not trying to insult you or even counter your views, but rather provoke some thoughts about your stance on the issues and whether or not you really know what you're talking about.
