1981 - What Should We Do With The Ones Who Don't Feel The Same?

  


  1981 are the anarcho punk band from Finland who featured on here in 2019 with a track from their Acts Of Rebellion ep (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/06/1981-where-did-all-my-good-dreams-go.html). 4 years later they're back with a new single. 

  As with the previous song I posted by them, don't go expecting their sound to be the raging, hardcore tinged anarcho favoured by many in the genre. Their sound is darkly delicious and a little more restrained but their lyrics about nationalism & bigotry and the fear of the unknown are as hard hitting as they are thought provoking. There's 2 tracks on the single and it's available on vinyl or name your price digital download : https://i98i.bandcamp.com/album/what-should-we-do-with-the-ones-who-dont-feel-the-same-b-w-a-prisoner-of-this-world 

  This is the A side, it's titled What Should We Do With The Ones Who Don't Feel The Same... 

I don't belong here This place it ain't for me Surrounded by others With their ignorance and bigotry Nationalism A sign of fear and insecurity When a love for a homeland Turns into stupidity I don't belong in this Blinkered community Where people hang on to A world that used to be No I don't belong here This place just ain't for me I don't want to be a part of This narrow minded society I know we want equality But there are too many who don't agree People take comfort in norms Stability, familiarity Change, I know, it can bring fear As shackles of the past are lost But these hard won freedoms They can only come at a tough cost How can we relate to the ones who don't feel the same? How can we reach out to the ones who don't feel the same? And what should we do with the ones who don't feel the same? What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same? Ignore them? Discount them? Tolerate them? Disregard them? Disobey them? Counteract them? Cultivate them? Educate them? What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same? What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same? What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same? What should we do with the ones who don't feel the same?
