Although this track wasn’t “release released” as a single, it was still considered a notable contribution to the album. Originally entitled “The Anti-Campaign”, this song includes a double tracking on White’s drum as well as a recording of a crowd cheering, to suggest a strong political theme, refer...
[Verse 1]
Have you heard before, hit it out, don't look back
Rock is the medium of our generation
Stand for every right, kick it out, hear you shout
For the right of all of creation
[Refrain]
We've heard before, but we just don't seem to move
The pressure's on is there lack of concentration
[Verse 2]
Power defy our needs, lift us up, show us now
Show us how amid the rack of confusion
Drive in thoughts of high, satisfy, in a plan
Set it out for all to understand it
[Refrain]
We've heard before, but we just don't seem to move
The pressure's on is there lack of concentration we are
[Bridge]
Lost and wondering, maybe, how it is
Seems to me, it's as simple as this
No matter, where you go, you're going to find
You won't see me in front, but you can't leave me behind
[Chorus]
Power at first to the needs of each others' days
Simple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling ways
All unaccounted for in the craziness of power
In the craziness
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brother
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sister
Release, release, enough controllers
Show some signs of appreciated loyalties
Release, release, enough controllers
Show some signs of appreciated loyalties
[Drum Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Verse]
Ya gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get it right
[Verse 3]
Straight jacket, freedom's march, is it all, far beyond
Our reason of understanding
Campaign everything, anti-right, anti-left
Anticipate the lack of creation
[Verse 4]
Stand for every right
Kick it out, hear you shout
Further the right
Further the right
Further the right
Of all of creation
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Power at first to the needs of each others' days
Simple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling ways
All unaccounted for in the craziness of power
In the craziness
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brother
Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sister
[Outro]

Release, release, Release, release, Release, release
