Lyrics
Gladiator Pose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Most people go to shows to see the bands, not fight, but there are often a handful that feel the dance floor is an open forum for violence, transforming the pit into a melee, while those who object look on passively are too intimidated to intervene or speak out. This isn't the way it should be, if the majority of the scene objects to violence at shows, as a unified body they should make it clearly understood that violent behavior will not be permitted or tolerated at shows. Violence at shows prohibits a sense ofcommunity, ruins the fun and threatens venues with closure. Take a stand.
Standing triumphant above the body prone
gloating victor assumes gladiator pose
the crowd mill about with mouths aghast
as a comrade's beaten by a brute that laughs
his sole purpose at shows seems to be to throw down
his selfish violent actions destroy the underground
we're not impressed at all by your brawn and your might
in fact to the contrary we think you're not bright
the time is long past to end violence at shows
so if you came here to fight, we'll show you the door
