In This Land 02:33
lyrics
we arrived in a Chevy van just another punk rock band driving around from place to place to meet you here face to face when you look to express your rage you know that we're on the same page now its time to kick off a brand new age we know there's something wrong in this land everyone, everywhere take a stand somewhere, someone needs a helping hand we'll be there to lend it if we can yeah, we'll be there to lend it if we can just like us you want to figure out the pain and injustice all about we picked up our guitars and we wrote some songs about protecting rights and correcting all the wrongs if we look a little tired hey, we're all right we worked all day and drove all night just so we could make this gig tonight

Tin Canners 02:09
lyrics
you can steal our right to vote you can steal all of our hope but we'll be dead before you steal our dignity we may run out of food to eat we may have nowhere to sleep but we're only getting stronger cause we're the tin tin canners I fought for you and I spilled my blood I crawled across France covered in mud and when I came back alive I thought you'd take care of me but then the system crashed and you stuck me in this camp where every night I'm cold and damp well try as you might, you can't ignore me and so we're off to Ottawa for a little bit of what they got for a living wage and security I won't live in poverty set me free

Quebec City 00:56
lyrics
police state police state on the street today fenced in old Quebec City trying to keep civil society on the outside while singing we shall not be moved Peoples' Summit was here to prove we must choose human rights over investor rights through clouds of gas I heard the cries plastic bullets began to fly i have seen state sponsored crime this ain't about democracy it's corporate autocracy that's out of touch and running out of time police state

Annoy Me 02:02
lyrics
you annoy me and maybe you just don't know it you try your point on me but I think you're gonna blow it you're trying to mess with me, every way that you might but I'll win this time, I'm not losing this fight annoying - every little thing you do annoying - just by being you and if you don't stop i'm gonna have to drop this little hint on you now it's my turn to start annoying you said, I'm gonna have to start annoying you you annoy me and I want you off of my mind you try and whine but this time I'll hold my line you're trying to be smart but you just can't play the part i'll keep my space and to your lies I'll turn my face
5.
Another Way 01:52
lyrics
Day by Day they try to break your body and take your mind There's another way Stand in union, we'll be just fine They'll try to take your life, try to take your cash but history teaches every systems must crash you work so hard to try and make a cent but everything you try just doesn't make a dent You get just enough to keep your mind closed to prevent the truth from being exposed No one should vanish without a trace so get off your ass and get out of this place The time has come to claim our space To make our mark and there won't be no disgrace Workers of the world there'll be no mistake when brothers and sisters are united today

Macho Duck 01:44
lyrics
see the idiot in the middle of the pit swinging his fists through the air he's a jackass he's got no class but he doesn't seem to care he's an obnoxious jock with a pencil for a cock and a pea for a brain it's not a wrestling match, it's a show but the catch is to him it's all the same macho, macho man don't really wanna be like you macho macho man doesn't really have a clue What an asshole! he's such a prick, he's hitting on the chicks, how can they resist him? if she says no and she doesn't want to go then she must be a lesbian at home he says "pop, I wanna be a cop" then he'll really kick some ass walking the beat on the city streets hired thug for the upper class macho macho man don't wanna be like you macho macho man doesn't really have a clue what an asshole!

Talkin' Punk Rock Civil War 02:19
lyrics
please don't get excited cause I'm not keeping score of the chances you've blown and opportunities ignored to help the ones you love and say you care for while you talk righteously all about it and it ain't getting better in fact it's getting worse poor are getting poorer the meek inheriting the earth while here in the America's we're still giving birth to the notion we're all created equal now I don't think you understand what you're fighting for our music, poetry and politics don't lead to a cure We need more than talkin'' punk rock civil war please don't take me wrong, don't get pissed off but the injustice and violence that you think you can stop continues everyday as we sing our protest songs talk without action produces no results self-gratifying lifestyles removing any doubt the chimes of freedom have long wrung out in a world where direct action counts

End Of The Line 02:04
lyrics
the one - who always works the hardest the one - whose always paid the least the one - who speaks the fondest the same one you can trust the least we pick - biggest and the strongest we think - who gives a damn for the weak? we see - what benefits the fewest only thing week after week once you think that history is done as good as it gets and you've finally won now you think this is the end of time, well you've just reached the end of the line they ask - opinion every 5 years demand - obedience everyday tell me - can you trust whose at the wheel they're more dense than Stelco steel you know - takes 2 to start a fight just add - a few more and it seems right you build - lies like black and white i dream in colour and it doesn't look right are you a citizen of this land do you trust the view from where you stand does this empire grow from your greed we've got more than we'll ever need we hear questions everyone asks what do your answers mask you can't stop the march of time watch out here comes the end of the line

The Great Disappointment 01:44
lyrics
my dad said: son let's not get started again when you grow up you will understand the future's more than rock and roll bands, late nights, beer and cheap girlfriends can't you see, that your mother and me are worried about your life? You can't succeed in school, always playing the fool can't you do anything right? you've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me you're dumb, and you're stunned, you're a great disappointment to me my teacher said: boy stop acting like a clown, shut your mouth and settle down it's time to start bringing up your grades there's no time for making up lost ground start facing facts, pull up your boot straps you'll never get the job you need to start a life, support a wife, and kids you can't afford to feed you've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me you're dumb, and you're stunned, you're a great disappointment to me now I don't mean to complain, about the things I can't change but it all seems a bit strange, how the past keeps repeating again my love says: man I can't take it no more playing your guitar instead of doing your chores and the family is always ignored can't you see your not a kid anymore? can't you see what your family needs is more than just a punk playing guitar in sleazy bars hanging around with drunks you've become no one, you're a great disappointment to me you're dumb, and you're stunned, you're a great disappointment to me

Action Today 02:53
lyrics
when tomorrow comes i'll see the sun rise up for me a brand new day i'll be ten feet tall nothing at all gets the best of me or my insecurities today action today like the sun, freedom comes, everyday i'll never lose temptations are refused won't get pushed around i'll stand my ground today starts rapidly feel and force my way blind insanity tries and retards me chorus nothing holds a grip rigging starts to slip scores my brain stressed and strained never give up the chase i'm not failing safe the fight inside of me focuses my energy

about

... originally released in 2004 as Turning Revolution Into Money (and long out of print), this 2018 version has been completely re-mixed, re-mastered and (slightly) re-named ...

... here's a few reviews from 2004 ...

The Fallout – Turning Revolution Into Money

The first three tracks display some awesome range: first wave punk, singalong street punk, and speed punk. I’m not sure which I prefer, and they manage to pull them off pretty well. “In This Land” starts the CD with an introduction to the band: “we arrived in a Chevy van just another punk rock band… and we wrote some songs about protecting rights.” I don’t know what “The Tin Canners” is about, but I feel like singing along to it. You need the lyric sheet to keep up with “Quebec City”, but that 80s hardcore sound makes it so worth it. The lyrics are most interesting when they’re rebelling against the police state (“Quebec City”) or the corporate status quo (“Another Way”) or reiterating that D.O.A. maxim of “talk – action = 0″ in “Talkin’ Punk Rock Civil War.” They even lift a Woody Guthrie quote! They bust quickly through “Praise the Lord – Pass the Ammunition”, deal with their “Anger Management” and sing one for the kids who’re pursuing their art and wind up being “The Great Disappoinment” of the family. The 14 songs average about 2 minutes, including a solid cover of The Jam’s “This is the Modern World.” This is the Toronto trio’s 3rd (according to the press release) or 4th (according to the website) CD, again offering some good serious insight into the world from a broke-ass punk-kid point-of-view. Hey, someone’s gotta stir up shit while the rest of us are getting McJobs and watching TV. My vote’s for these guys. (Mote Music)

The Fallout – Turning Revolution Into Money

Great driving melodic punk with a left leaning message. This is one of Toronto’s newest and brightest talents, featuring Jeremy the guy behind the Anti-Warped tour shows. The FALLOUT remind me of the CLASS ASSASSINS with a healthy dose of the CLASH and INFA RIOT thrown into the guitar work. As for the vocals they remind me of Frankie Stubbs meets AGENT ORANGE, which translates to an odd mix that is a snotty style that has a hoarse delivery. As for the ideology, the FALLOUT are talking about important things like the erosion of civil liberties in “Quebec City” to scene violence in “Macho Duck”. The lyrics seem to be inspired by bands like the ANGELIC UPSTARTS and DOA. The FALLOUT are kind of like something between MARILYN’s VITAMINS and the CLASS ASSASSINS however there is loads of group back ups that will have you singing along as if it were the CLASH’s “I’m So Bored”. This is fuckin’ great, especially for a debut release. (Equalizing X Distort)

The Fallout – Turning Revolution Into Money

The FALLOUT play tight, upbeat melodic punk with heaps of hooks and attitude. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, FORGOTTEN REBELS, MORAL CRUX and the BODIES all spring to mind on the first track alone. THE FORGOTTEN REBELS comparison sticks all the way through this (though I can’t imagine the REBELS putting WOODY GUTHRIE-type union folk samples in their records) not surprisingly since they’re Canadian, though these cats have better lyrics and hopefully won’t go all glam an shit. This is great catchy snotty punk, it’s not forumlaic – their own personality shines through, and the guy’s got a great (punk) voice. They even do a version of (and I’m not even sure they’ve heard of IMPATIENT YOUTH) “Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition” and finish the whole thing off with, as a hidden track, an impeccable cover of the JAM’s (this is) The Modern World with the great line “I don’t give two fucks about your review!” Brilliant! (AD)

(recomended pick) Fallout, The - Turning Revolution Into Money, CD

It's always a pleasure to hear a great band that's been around for awhile that I've previously overlooked. This is the third full-length for Toronto's The Fallout, and it's one of the most kick-ass-old-school punk albums I've heard in ages. Reminiscent of bands such as Stiff Little Fingers or The Clash, but renewed to excise the dated elements and follies of some of those bands. The Fallout play earnest punk the old-fashioned way. While musically the band at times reminds me of The Spits, there's a surprising seriousness to the band's lyrics (mixing politics and diatribes about the punk scene), despite their fun, upbeat musical stylings.
