Robert Inhuman, about "HxC Figurehead"
A hidden agenda or desire for special recognition when affiliated with any kind of serious Anarchist-related collective seems to be a really dangerous element in these places, like a sign that the effort is infected and there needs to be some kind of amputation... It's also supposed to be a reality check for people in bands, to remember that there's nothing that shocking today about yelling hostile words into a mic, unless you've literally invited peoples' grandparents to come hear it, but even then they might be like "eh, we've heard it all before". Being in a band is what it is, just a way to rally people, spark interaction and dialogue... Bands are not supposed to be some kind of cool chosen few who lead a crusade for a subculture. So of course along with being commentary on situations I've seen around me, it's (ironically?) also a serious reminder to myself about what I'm doing as someone who mainly makes records and tours in a band, to keep it in a healthy perspective. I believe music and everything surrounding it does have a valid social function, but it's not like the air we need to breathe. Anyone can have social worth, not just limited to people who specialize in art and music. This song is a warning to people affiliated with hardcore against becoming quixotic, and against compromising a collective effort for individual gain.
lyrics
"It's part of the whole ideology of this age, which is POWERMAD."
you're just a middle finger in the face of fucking nobody
you're not shocking to anybody and your mom's not fucking here
pretend it's anarchism - but it's a personal agenda not even well hidden
your ideas don't mean shit much more than some unarticulated fear
"so fuck you"
back your slogans up if you want to represent a politic
or just shut up - shut - up - and admit your hardcore band don't mean shit
"so fuck you"
if you're trying to speak for all of us you're going to need something much better to say
but you spend your energy on a personal agenda in that sabotaging fucked up way
I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU EVERY STEP YOU TRY TO TAKE
so fuck you kid, and fuck the authority you struggle to invent
(cashing in on anarchism)
