    "i think straight edge only makes sense in the punk community. like my
    favourite t-shirt says: "if you are not punk you are not straight 
    edge". so i hate what most of sXe is today: kids just being sXe with no
    bounds to or even hate towards the punk scene, kids listening to bad
    metal bands and acting like macho idiots instead of fellow punks having 
    a sXe lifestyle"

    "JUST ANOTHER WORD  (by SFA, 1989)
    When will you realize you can't change anything with just an "X" on
    your hand. When will you realize that unity is just another word if
    you don't follow through. These walls you build between us are the
    ones you claim to be breaking down.  I don't buy your superior 
    attitude. When will you realize? You cast me off because I'm not like 
    you. You think you're cool with your ways, you self-righteous child. 
    This dilemma WE FACE we could face together if you would really open
    your minds.  When will you realize? - You probably never will."
