| refused are great punk-core. can anyone tell me what the crowd are chanting at the start of this track? there are a few songs which start with chanting e.g. BSF - After the Eulogy starts with chants of "no justice, no peace" which i found out on these boards, but what about this song? im living with the possibility that it isn't english... anyone? | |

| This song was dedicated to the people who risked their lives in search of justice and freedom and to all the people who still fight. Its also a reminder that alot of our freedom is being taken away and we have to start fighting for it. Its supposed to make you think of all the people who never got a chance to have freedom. | |
