lyrics

Eyes Wide Open
Raised to ignore all that surrounds
Apathetic to the horror
Pens and cages - festering in filth
Only to end in brutality

Eyes open mouth shut
Turn and walk away
Eyes open mouth shut
It will all just fade away

Raised to ignore all that surrounds
Apathetic to the horror
Cannot ignore - eyes wide open
We can no longer walk away

We are raised in a consumer based society that completely disconnects us from how our cold cuts and our chicken fingers are transformed from beautiful sentient beings that are birthed into a living hell on factory farms, fed a minimally nutritional diet of scrap and antibiotics, penned into cramped conditions with appendages snared and broken within the wire mesh or bars of their confines, and then finally brutally slaughter to be processed for us to feed upon. We are raised to believe that eating meat is necessary for good health. We put on blinders and we swallow what we are told. God tells us meat is good. Authority tells us meat is good. The media tells us meat is good. And in turn our parents tell us meat is good. Animals think and feel just as we do and we see their lives as merely something to be exploited and shit out. We have been lied to. We no longer need meat to survive, it is not the healthier choice, and animals are not soulless vessels put on this Earth for our consumption.

about

Poison Planet Chicago, Illinois

What separates punk from other genres of music is its visceral menacing sounds make it the perfect soundtrack for anger & protest. The direct result of this combination of elements is that it became a vehicle for socio-political ideas.

PxP firmly embrace that vehicle in the hope of advocating the idea of personal growth & change; personal is political.

Straight Edge.
Veganism.
Human Rights. ... more
