CAPTION
A fierce critique of overpopulation, greed, and ecological collapse—“Global Pillage” warns of a world consuming itself beyond limits.

"Global Pillage" is a song that critiques the unsustainable exploitation of global resources and societal systems, drawing its title and lyrics directly from Garrett Hardin's 1993 book "Living Within Limits" to highlight themes of overpopulation, greed, environmental depletion, and the consequences of ignoring ecological and social limits

[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Governments claim to serve our needs
But capitalism is based on greed
Socialism who they trying to kid
Cuz everyone takes
More than they give

[Verse 2]
Eight billion and we continue to breed
Ninety million more each year to feed
We farm the deserts and the oceans floor
And when that's gone
There ain't no more

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
PC divides our nation
Bilingual Education leads to tribalization
Gifts to charity are just a redistribution
Of poverty

[Verse 4]
Government's run by corporations
Whose PR men deny all allegations
We subsidize things we despise
And feed their machine
With the things that we buy

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")

[Break down]

[Verse 5]
The status-quo is suicidal
Don't give a damn about the world's survival
Ask yourself would you lend your keys
To the scum and drags
Of society

[Outro]
Our leaders are fools, what can we do?
The choice comes down to me and you
Turn away or take a stand
Save humanity
With the wave of your hand

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")

Inside Jokes Without Friends

Fire and Fury

Recorded in 2008 a mix of old and new songs

East Coast Oi-core .........Sick of Society formed in 1998 originally to play music we all loved and have fun. As time passed the band progressed and realized the music scene was missing something, we wanted to produce something original, so initially jamming out Oi tunes, heavily influenced by all music and Old school Hardcore we felt a new style could spawn. So we introduced Hardcore to our music and thus became an Oi-core band, new, original, in your face, raw and true. Before standing strong with our current foundation, We have gone threw many, many, many members throughout the years Each have contributed to what we are today. SOS has played with & support numerous great bands & Causes, progressed into something even the devil himself wouldn't approve of, spitting the truth in your face, weather you like it or not, we sing about real issues, hard times & life with a passion, yes we're still kickin it till this day....you wanna know more, you'll hear the music. Oi!!!

Guard Donkey

A pop punk song that combines many influences to create the authentic Backsteps sound

Bonfire

Reinvent the Norm
Embrace the storm
Brace for impact
You never know
What will be

The strangest flower is the one that no one gets 
It's burned in your brain, you never will forget
A splash of color as random as the day
Never know what people will say

Why be normal when you can be set free
Think of all the things you could see...

So let's reinvent the norm
And embrace the storm
Brace for impact
You never know what will be

Reinvent the norm
And embrace the storm
I hope you will see what I see

Mismatched on purpose just to say this
My eyes are opened wide
Double up those socks and shoes
It just fits the attitude

But now, just question for you all
In the end
"Does it make you move? 
Or will you stumble and fall?"

So let's reinvent the norm
And embrace the storm
Brace for impact
You never know what will be

Reinvent the norm
And embrace the storm
I hope you will see what I see
