In addition to the four songs on the newly released “Raise Your Flag And Other Anthems” 7-inch EP, The Fallout have recorded about 15 other new tunes, which we hope will see the light of day sooner than later!
Here’s a couple of the new songs!
“Holding Up Half The Sky” uses footage from a 1971 Women’s Liberation march, while “Turn It Down” uses footage from a 1993 Toronto Anti-Racist Action demo aimed at the headquarters of holocaust denier Ernst Zundel.
HOLDING UP HALF THE SKY
Fighting for equality
Struggling for an opportunity
Violence and oppression
Can’t stop her liberation
Stereotypes of sexuality
Leading to misogyny
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
Time to be heard above the noise
Time for men to lend a voice
Stand and fight for equal rights
It’s your body – it’s your choice
Gender bias in the justice system
Placing blame upon the victim
We all know who’s at fault
For the harassment and assaults
Prisoners in an economic cage
Equal work means an equal wage
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
It’s time we all gave a fuck
Support your local Janey Canuck
TURN IT DOWN
White noise
In stereo sound
Nothing sounds worse
Need to turn it down
Turn it down
Feeble minds cling to misguided fears
Forcing their nonsense
Into naïve ears
Turn it down
Mouth full of hate
Head full of shit
Bigots pandering to idiots
Turn it down
Your out of touch
Get with the times
Turn it around
And leave your hate behind
Turn it down
