Saan ba patungo ang daang tinatahak? Sa bawat hakbang tila ‘di makausad. Kasabay ng pangakong napako sa limot Hanggang dito na lang ba ang biyahe ng buhay? Mula sa pagsilang hanggang sa kamatayan Inaapak apakan at walang karapatan. Sa lupang pinagyaman iba ang nakinabang Dahas at panloloko ang sinagot sa kahilingan. Panginoon! Ganid sa lupa Panginoon! May bahid ng dugo Panginoon! Walang awa sa masa Panginoon! Pagbayarin sa sala Panginoon! Ng iba’t ibang hacienda Panginoon! Langit ninyo’y babagsak. Saan ba patungo ang daang tinatahak? Sa bawat hakbang tila ‘di makausad. Kasabay ng pangakong napako sa limot Hanggang dito na lang ba ang biyahe ng buhay? Sa gitna ng palahaw, hinagpis at paghihirap Nagmistulang bulag ang mga taong nakapwesto. “Sumunod sa mga utos ‘yan ang laging tandaan” Na ang biyaya ng panginoo’y sumainyo. Panginoon! Ganid sa lupa Panginoon! May bahid ng dugo Panginoon! Walang awa sa masa Panginoon! Pagbayarin sa sala Panginoon! Ng iba’t ibang hacienda Panginoon! Langit ninyo’y ibabagsak.

Down the tubes, the country goes Just how far nobody knows Deception and corruption is the name of the game Don’t you know I’ve got your name I see you steal their dreams Don’t you hear their f***ing screams I see you’ve sold your soul I see the devil waiting at the door Stealing everything as fast as you can Trying to prove that you’re the man You gotta be rich in six years time All before you’ve reached your prime I see you steal their dreams Don’t you hear their f***ing screams I see you’ve sold your soul I see the devil waiting at the door

you saw that something had to change resolved to act on it, regardless of what's at stake with a vision of better days you took on the fight for basic human rights but the state won't tolerate someone so passionate you were seen as a threat in an effort to quell dissent an unjust consequence for never bowing down all the courage you have shown the seeds that you have sown I hope it grows in all of us and when they took you away into uncertain fate we still hope you come home safe and that they pay you live your life not just for yourself you dare to stand for your beliefs no risk can back you down and no piece of cloth will stop you from seeing all the courage you have shown the seeds that you have sown may it grow in all of us and when they took you away into uncertain fate we still hope you come home safe and that they pay there have been countless victims of enforced disappearance and it has escalated in recent years men and women whose only crime is not accepting the way things are, that something has to change and taking part in the process of change it has been state policy to deny these people of their human rights their families and other groups have done everything they can to find them and bring the perpetrators to justice but with no cooperation from the government their efforts have not yet yielded positive results these are just very few of the names of the victims of enforced disappearance and the list keeps growing these are just very few of the names of the victims and the list keeps growing...

Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte Now! The people are sick and tired of your fascist state The senseless violence and killings of the innocent Your stupid war on drugs is war on the poor There's no end in corruption instead you release them all The people are sick and tired of things you say and do You attack their beliefs and disrespected women The bombing of Marawi and imposed martial law You're a puppet of the US and you sell us out to China Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte Now! The workers are sick and tired of your promises The economy is still in hell and the workers rights are trampled There's no end to hunger unemployment and poverty Say no to contractualization and advance the workers strikes! The farmers are sick and tired of your feudal rule There's no land reform instead you imported rice Then you shoot the farmers and the Lumads are attacked BUT YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT THE NEW PEOPLES ARMY! Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte! Oust Duterte Now!

Sa gitna ng masukal na daan Tahimik kang makiramdam. Nariyan na ang mga kaaway Papalapit sa ating hanay. Tanganan ang gatilyo at sila’y asintahin Armas nila ay ating samsamin. Ang mga pasista ay ating dudurugin Taktikal na opensiba, tagumpay ay tiyakin. Hustisya para sa masa Armadong pagpaparusa!

What we long for What we crave for What we thirst for What we desire What we hope for What we dream of all our lives What we pray for Our real messiahs There are no greater gods Than the ones we believe Than the gods who will feed our ambitions When want becomes need What we steal for What we kill for What gives less value to other lives What we live for What we are willing to die for Why souls are sold for a price 'Cause there are no greater gods Than the ones we believe Than the gods who will feed our ambitions When want becomes need There are no greater gods Than the ones we believe Than the gods who will feed our ambitions As want turns to need And as the world turns So too shall we yearn for more And as our time burns So too shall we yearn for more, then more and more 'Cause we We want to rule We want to own We want to be known And we We want it now We want it all We want everything Live your lie for the gods Live your life for the gods Bow to the gods Kneel to the gods Worship the gods Be consumed by the gods Worship the gods Bow to the gods Kneel to the gods Be consumed by the gods Power is our god, and Greed is our god, and Fame is our god, and Hate is our god Power is our god Greed is our god Fame is our god Hate is our god And we serve them well We serve them well We serve them well We serve them well We serve them well We serve them well We serve them well We serve them well #nonentities

We eat from the hand that binds us. Divided by walls…a false freedom. We live a crowded way of life on a path full of brainwashed ideals. Passed from generation to generation. These are the rules they have made for us, architectured and engineered To fit a diluted standard. Strings attached to our limbs, cabled necks hauled from a distant. Media control quintessence of our lives. Judged by the things we acquire, the work we have, the clothes we wear. Slaving our time to a minimal productive slot. We become apathetic to the things which matters most. Spending most of our time in front of an infinite mirror which reflects our insecurities. Then we succumb to these things…instinct. A predatory smile weaved in our faces. Burning our way through congested lines of repeated mistakes. We exploit our resources and deplete every ounce And we still crave for more, more than we can handle. This is obsoletion a step away. An extinction on progress. Slaving our time to a mediocre optimal lie. We become saturated to the image fed to us For the fucking nth time. We become apathetic to the things which matters most. We then numb ourselves with every substance they make And breathe it in with the hope of acceptance not knowing we’re dying everyday for the sake of…….

Isang gabi ng hapunan nabalitaan Taga looban, lumaban? Nakahandusay sa daan Wala ng buhay at duguan. Pinapatay ng walang dahilan Para daw sa kaayusan. Walang mababago sa karahasan Baka meron pang ibang paraan?"

I know it’s tiring But we have to strive, my brother And I know it’s so hard But we have to face the struggle To seek his truth That’s what we have to discover So in the end, we don’t have to suffer Don’t give up, don’t back down Rise above Breakdown the walls and set your soul free Rise above

Ano ang aming kasalanan? Pagnasaan ang lupang tiwangwang Upang kahit minsan makaani ng walang inaalalang partehan? Maggiit ng ayuda mula sa gobyerno Sa panahon ng tagtuyot at kasalatan? Ano ang aming kasalanan? Lihim na mamuhi at magmura Sa inyong nagpapahirap sa amin? Mag-abala sa mga samahan Sa mga talakayang lumalalim na sa gabi at lampas sa ‘curfew’ Para mag-amot ng ipinagbabawal ninyong kaalaman? Bigyan ng hugis at larawan sa mga salitang ipininta sa pader at balatengga Ang tunog ng kalam ng tiyan? Ano ang aming kasalanan? Umusal ng babala at banta? Sumalungat sa mga salita ng awtoridad? Mag-iwan ng sangkaterbang polyeto sa kalsada Pagkatapos ng mga protesta at welga? Makipagkaibigan sa iba pang api, sa mga tinatatakan ninyong terorista Upang makadamang may karamay kami sa pagkakasala? Mag-amba ng bisig at maghagis ng kamao sa hangin? Magkaroon ng mga anak na nag-aarmas para tubusin kami sa aming mga kasalanan? Ano ang aming kasalanan? Ano ang aming kasalanan?

When oppression strikes, and injustice prevails There's no place for apathy and self righteousness We should be up in arms to overthrow the society's ills Free ourselves from foreign dominance Dismantle landlordism and bureaucratic greed If you remember the struggle If you remember the streets Don't be a spectator You should be a part of it Unite! Take the streets! Fight oppression and injustice! Act now, take the streets, confront state violence Destroy the fascist pigs! Widespread poverty and the poor dies from hunger The nation's riches sucked down by capitalist plunderers How can you still be calm while the people suffer? Let's take down this system and build a new society If you believe in the struggle If you believe in the streets Don't be a bystander You should be a part of it Unite! Take the streets! Fight oppression and injustice! Act now, take the streets, confront state violence Destroy the fascist pigs! Take action if you mean what you preach Dare to struggle, dare to win Take the streets!

Di pa nga undas Nagkalat ng utas Simple na lang ang pumatay Para sa 'ting bagong buhay Mga bata tuwang-tuwa 'Pag may nakitang nakabulagta Ako naman natulala Nagtataka sa nakita Isang malaking tanong Bakit gan'to ating solusyon? Isang malaking hala Bakit ka ba natatawa? Sa ngalan ng pagbabago Nandito na ang impyerno Ako'y nangangamba Mga tao, tao pa ba? Araw-araw ang digma Buhay ang kinukuha Pekeng Diyos nagdidikta Binoto siya't sinasamba

Every time you point your finger, it’s 3 back at you. You are what you despise.All the lies and hate you spread will one day come back to haunt you. Every word spoken is a lie waiting to be etched in the minds of many…Waiting for your prophecies. Echoing amidst the turmoil and the pit. With clear eyes and an open mind…You can’t fool those who have seen through those forked words. Lost my faith in you, but gained the will of the few who have bled for this…Who have nothing to prove but for a cause you take for granted. You type me as an outcast, I see you as a lost cause. Another play ends, sweat dripping, voices lost in the moment of orchestration. It’s like these times when I try to forget and remember “…see I told you so” Another tap in the back and a wish to shrug it off…When all is said and done, that’s when it will really begin. You can’t justify your way out of this. It’s so sad to see when all that motivates you is insecurity. When all is said and done, that’s when it will really begin. You can’t justify your way out of this. Goodnight and sleep well, No one’s to blame…maybe you?

ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS UNTIL JULY 30!

Filipino punk bands and artists in its related genres, from the Philippines and abroad, who are in opposition to the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 are welcome to participate. Tracks related to the album theme will be uploaded to the track list.

Email your track (wav format), song background and credits, and band profile to knowyourenemyproject2@gmail.com.

“Know Your Enemy Vol. II" is an effort of the Punk community and its related genres, to show resistance against the Republic Act No. 11479, also known as the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020. This is a response of 60 plus bands and artists, from different parts of the country and abroad, to the continuous intimidation and silencing of the Duterte administration's critics and dissenters with the the enactment of the said law.

Last July 3rd, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte signed RA 11479 despite the massive opposition from various sectors. It has not gone unnoticed by the people that the ulterior purpose of this law is to suppress growing dissent and criticism towards the current administration. Duterte and his minions deceitfully enacted this law, aware that the people’s discontent continues to rise due to their criminal neglect and incompetence regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response. The power-hungry, including those not part of the Duterte cabinet, will utilize the authority of this act to ensure that systemic corruption, plunder, and other exploitative systems inherent to the State will remain intact.

We all know the implications of said law on the Punk scene as well as other related circles – censorship of songs, zines, visual art, and other expressive forms, regulation, or much worse, suppression of our shows, gatherings, and food-sharing or community-building activities. It is even possible for one of us to end up incarcerated due to the vague and expansive definition of terrorist act. This law seeks to repress our freedom of expression, a foundation of Punk as a culture.

We encourage everyone to share this online compilation album to every punk or any individual who is raising their fist against the Anti-Terror Law. This album is free for streaming and download or in a pay-what-you-can basis. 100% of sales from this compilation album shall be used to assist punks or any individual, being accused of terrorism under the RA 11479, in their legal battles or, if ever, as their bail fund.

We call on your courage and solidarity in the continuous struggle against tyranny, fascism, and State neglect. To further our advocacies, everyone is also encouraged to hold various forms of offline activities.

Criticism and dissent is not terrorism. Fighting injustice and struggling for social change is not terrorism. We, as punks and artists, are not terrorists. We will not bow down to fascism. We call on fellow punks and artists, alongside the people, to fight back!


*”Know Your Enemy Vol. I” was released by Dirty Shoes Collective, circa 2007, in CD-R format, at the height of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s fascist rule.
