About
"Survivalism" is the third track on the 2007 release Year Zero.
Survivalism is the belief that one must be prepared to survive a major catastrophe by stocking up on food and weapons.
A survivalist therefore is a person who anticipates and prepares for a future disruption in local, regional or worldwide social or political order. Survivalists often prepare for this anticipated disruption by learning skills (e.g., emergency medical training), stockpiling food and water, or building structures that will help them to survive (e.g., an underground shelter).

Lyrics
I should have listened to her So hard to keep control We kept on eating but Our bloated belly's still not full She gave us all she had but We went and took some more Can't seem to shut her legs Our mother nature is a whore [CHORUS:] I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In high-def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism Hypnotic sound of siren Echoing through the street The cocking of the rifles The marching of the feet You see your world on fire Don't try to act surprised We did just what you told us Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies [CHORUS] [cut-up speech] All bruised and broken, bleeding She asked to take my hand I turned, just keep on walking But you'd do the same thing under circumstance I'm sure you'll understand [CHORUS] [guitar solo] You've got your pacifism, I've got survivalism (x10)
