Crass - You Pay

[swervington1]

anarcho Alan has the best videos on you tube.Incredible stuff.I was but a wee lad when this music came out,but have now been inspired to revisit all over again.At the grand old age of 44,maybe I am to old to get a Crass tattoo.but,while no one is looking,who knows..

[TheMusicolophile]

Excellent videos by the way, AnarchoAlan. You've got a way.

[ryansnack101]

More relevant now then ever in the USA....

[KukArslet]

Why did they let this fucker sing? I'm sorry but I have to be honest. This song is crap with that singing, I can do it better. I fucking will do it better.

Cus nevertheless, the lyrics are the best.

See what I did there?

[ozricthebad]

Answer::..yep,...you made yourself look stupid,..!..NEXT

[Rigsbymortisful]

@KukArslet i think Pete probably sang it because he wrote it.  it doesnt matter to me. its the words that are important, not the singer.

the fact that there are several different lead vocalists on the album makes it more diverse and interesting.

[Cheesepuffs414]

Goddamn I wish Steve sang this song.

[s0cieTysNuIsAnce]

iamyue1, well spoken. lol. crass was ahead of their time

[iamyue1]

As relevant today as on the day that it was written.

[fsfdrew]

thank you crass for changing so many lives in the sense of respect of life

[OverratedHumanity]

0:00-0:06

So what?

[nightgrip]

@OverratedHumanity you mean banned from the roxy?

[austereben]

All systems would work if people acted right. If the nobility and royalty had been benevolent, we'd still be living in feudalism. Our systems are evolving with us, so they'll never be perfect until people are perfect.

[FissionNonStop]

In hell, they practice capitalism.

[caillou1966]

An astonishing record.

[fafo58]

capitalism is death.

[forevertrulywicked93]

If anarchy is what you capitalists like to call a "utopia", then capitalism is a "utopia" that became a harsh reality. Capitalism will eat up earth's resources until the last cent can be made. Arctic life is more likely to go extinct from overhunting capitalists than "global warming".

[ProtestLove]

FRUSTRATION ARGHHHHHHH

[blojbabis]

this crass song is one of my favorites

[zarthux]

Hey thanks for these vids. Really great to see.

[Gopedanarchist]

I was refering to Greatest Working Class Rip off another song by crass.

[voltagejunkie666]

how is it a ripoff, its the same band =\ XD

[ali007bates]

Anarcho Alan, I hope your in the UK. Their still all out there, nazi's and all the other hate mongers. To keep the human race alive we must move forward not revert back to the views of a wierd kiddy fiddler who controlled Germany 60 yrs ago, know what I mean?

[NuWave12]

Do Yhuu Have Any Proof That Hitler Was A Paedophile?

Sorry, I Just Saw Your Comment And Just Thought That.

[wrexhamtravellers]

there is no justice, only a word governments like to use for there own agenda. you pay your fine becuae u shoplifted and was hungry, u pay.

[billybareass]

vanuaturocks

At 13 abandon tradition

Think of atheism.

Respect your parents.

Renounce God

listen to discharge

ake your mind

fight war

not war

[jackingoff777x]

oh yea one more question how do you not help them if you have to pay to live

[jackingoff777x]

am just a kid and am new to this type of punk but even i know anacrhy will not happen and that this country is going to be in a whole lot of mess unless you guys actully do something i would do soomething but am too young but yeah just enjoy the music

[savagepink]

you're never too young to facilitate change.

[vanuaturocks]

I'm only 13 but I take the message but I'm never too young I have the right to info.

[TheBlackLagooner]

@vanuaturocks - it's kids like you that make me hopeful for our future. Always learn, always seek your own truth.

[GunsOnRoof]

Fair point, but its not just 'you guys', its absolutley everyone, there needs to be a realisation.

[LCKmurder]

best advice is just to be an independant person. Dont be or become a mooch like most punks are, and just keep it real. You may be called a capatalist, and you may get people telling you that you'll always be working for the "man" but fuck what other people say, cause in reality, everyone has to work for what they have. I dont mean to sound like a dad or anything, but to me thats the real definition to being "punk".

[AnomalytoConformity]

youre right i hate all of these "punks" who claim there somehow more punk because there unemployed, uneducated, and don't vote. if anything there working against change get up off youre asses guys punk isnt an exuse to be lazy!

[KanuZankoro]

Being a punk is about nonconformity. Do what you want.

Anarchy isn't gonna happen. Maybe never. People rely on other people as well as themselves to survive, It's part of the human nature, as is conflict and selfishness. You can't avoid it. Whether it's long term or short term, you need a form of trade and bartering. No matter what period of time you're in or what country, there is a price on the things you require to live.

[jackriter]

Really?

Prove any of that, because I can prove it all wrong.

[NuWave12]

So True.

All These 'Punks' Say They Want Anarchy, But The Whole Idea Of Anarchy Doesnt Work And They Dont Understand That. I Think Its Pathetic Personally.

[mondragonplus]

it isn't impossible, actualy it worked in Spain and Ucraine.

[NuWave12]

Really? I Didnt Know That.(:

But I Didnt Say It Was Impossible.

[snapedneck]

yes it worked ... but it wouldn't work with chaos an all ... anarchy can be good but i don't know wether it will be realy the best ... but i don't know ...

sry my english is not THE BEST

[Stenchyboxcar]

Long live the CNT!!!! Long live the Spanish Anarchist!!!

[dopefloat4]

blah blah blah

[dafringle]

the whole term Punk was crated by the media, once you define yourself as punk, you are by nefinition not punk, much as 'pop punk' is an oxymoron.

[NuWave12]

Also, The Word 'Oxymoron' Is An Oxymoron.(:

[crustieswillalwaysru]

Why is that the songs sung by pete wright are not as defintive as the songs sung by eve libertine or steve ignorant.

[vanuaturocks]

Pete just has an awesome voice. but a little more down to the point and less intellectual

[jamesXThree]

Fucking government

[HarryUpHarry]

What government - live outside of their order

[Kraftysot]

Where? On the moon? lol they own the earth.

You could be a filthy train hopping anarchist, smoking crack and being a "revolutionary". But youre still on their trains, using their money, eating their food, using their health care, being thrown into their jails.

Good luck moon boy.

[nnlover1228]

tight song

[kellykennedy775]

Tunage M8 & Loving Yer Wee Video's

[boathopper]

[mike666nz]

@AnarchoAlan -excellent vid-havent heard Crass for years but since I see some on You tube I can- not seen anything from Christ the album or well forked but not dead- came in a black double LP boxed set I recall with poster and booklet explaining the Crass ethos
