About Monument to Thieves

Profit System

Today we are raised in America to think that making money and turning a profit is the only form of success. We don’t just have capitalism, we have predatory capitalism. Never before have businesses and corporations so blatantly squeezed the life and wealth of the lower classes to benefit the few at the top. The only goal of these corporations is to maximize profit, regardless of the social and environmental costs. With endless amounts of capital these corporations and their lobbyists have strangled our government and congress into submission and are raping the economy and the consumers. These industries now have complete control and power over legislation and our media. Of all the industries, the financial one is the most baffling to me. On many, many occasions I’ve asked my father (life long banker) to explain the importance of the stock market only to be left with a confused feeling of disgust. Why must everything be a gamble? Why must everything turn a profit? Wall Street is a fuckin casino and the house will always win. Our largest corporations are making money off of money. These aren’t tangible products - they’re a series of zeros tucked and traded away in computers. This culture of greed has left us believing we can’t do anything without an incentive of monetary gain. I absolutely fuckin disagree. - Keith

Wall Street parasites the game is over

No one is free in a profit system bathing in greed

So calculated you never had a chance / In a season of greed with a sweet romance / always the victim / I never thought for a second they gave a fuck about you.

Profit system / Throw it away Pulls the strings / Until they break

It’s not a dream anymore / The steady flow of green to red / And now the people will take it back / They’ve come to collect your fucking heads

Kill the profiteer

So unshackle your mind / Refuse to feed the greed and the crime / And I will never support the casinos of Wall Street hiding in pinstripes

Eat shit motherfuckers

Down For Life

I’ve learned more about life, morals and ethics at hardcore shows than I have in any of the schools I’ve gone to. From politics, to religion, to straight edge the hardcore scene has in many ways been my main source of guidance. It’s such an amazing community of exchanging ideas. Bands like (to name a few) Minor Threat, Downcast, Earth Crisis, Groundwork and His Hero is Gone (from which the name Monument To Thieves was derived) inspired me to think deeper about lyrical content and forced me to look at current events or social issues/struggles. I will always be a fan of many forms of music but the messages of hardcore are by far more important than any other scene I’ve personally experienced. Hardcore is organic and it’s message and sound will always continue to evolve. I think it’s important to educate each other on the past and where we’ve come from. This is the message we must cherish and push forward into the future. - Keith

Hardcore community / always a part of me / Hardcore community / forever family

Hardcore until you die / Hardcore and down for life

Respect for all who paved the way / I will push forward the message today, forever and always

We are down for life / Forever and always

Hardcore til you die / Down for life

For the past / for the future / respect for all who paved the way / for the core / for the straight edge / I still believe

I’m fuckin down for life / Down for life
