Apes of the State - I Shot a Gun Today [Official Music Video]

Filmed in Lancaster, PA by Jak Kerley/Shibby Pictures.
From the They Can't Kill Us All Split with Sister Wife Sex Strike: apesofthestate...
LYRICS:
I shot a gun today for the first time
I was surprised at how easy it was a man it made me feel so powerful I think I’m ready to start a revolution
we got elections coming up I don’t know who I wanna pick
a criminal or a racist pig it’s the same damn thing every couple years
I think it’s time to overthrow the government
so I was getting myself ready for the revolution getting myself ready for the revolution till I remembered I have work in the morning
uhh the revolution will have to happen after 5 PM Monday through Friday
spent the summer on the road
driving through the desert and mountains, sleeping on floors and couches
whoever said you needed money to travel didn’t have many friends
now I’m back in Pennsylvania sleeping until 11 AM my friends they call me lazy they just don’t get it
I’m dreaming up my plan for the revolution
so I’ve been getting myself ready for the cold cold winter getting myself ready for the cold cold winter
forgot to stop and watch leaves change color
watch them all fall down
I shot a gun today for the first time I was surprised at how easy it was
I think I’m gonna ask for one for Christmas, either that or a new guitar

Used to hate this band but then one time the singer farted directly in my mouth and now haven't been able to stop listening to them since

[@billypie3.144]

wait what

[@punkrockmamainvegas]

I still hate this band. But I have a big ol crush on the singer. This song is pop punk cringe.

[@lordchesterfield1362]

@@punkrockmamainvegas Surely she will date you now after this KZbin comment.

[@ASSAULTROCKRECKEADZ]

Similar story. April used to hate my music till I farted directly into her mouth. She still hates my music and I'm barred from my local Tesco for life but I still think Green Day rock.

[@everennui1]

​@@punkrockmamainvegas yeah. i have a crush on her, too. but i'm like the worst kind of meme, and I'm sure that she's secretly friends with my most, neo-anarchist, misandrist, "feminist" mortal enemy who is literally responsible for my neighbors death, a bit convoluted, yet articulable, with time. just kind of places and things. but i'm also probably schizophrenic so it's tough. anyway, it's not my cup of tea for music, but I like how she dances around the beat with her lyrics, but I do find the, "folk punk" to be a bit more, "folk pop punk" although, you can't deny, "let's take over the government" is probably edgy enough for a punks punk ass to be punked by another punk ass punks punk ass but she's on her sister wife sex strike era and hell bent on breaking the snake, so there's probably no chance I could spit my venom in her anyway.

[@robertpaulson2043]

This would be a 10/10 music video if the pups were also sleeping in until 11

[@brandonjdean]

this song is a masterpiece.

[@rustyshackleford735]

Id only heard the demo version until now. No disappointments, great video.

[@stoneyonscene]

heckyeah! already added to my skatepark jams playlist💚

[@bradleysmith9431]

I clicked because the thumbnail looks like a one legged track runner...

[@hum-dinger2453]

That's a weird kink to have I guess

[@ASSAULTROCKRECKEADZ]

"Sleeping in till 11am" ?? Mate are you sure?? 11am is practically get up and go by my standards 😮

[@Fwibos]

nice song

[@spweasel]

Really great

[@davidcampos8795]

Used to love this band but I gave the lead singer a ride one time and they farted in my truck and rifled through all my things

[@ShibbyPictures]

@@davidcampos8795 that's to be expected tbh

[@princesssshortie]

🔥🔥

[@frankreads8618]

Why does the singer look like Judith Hoag, the April O'Neil from the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie?

[@billordo]

❤

[@egarcia3904]

This is dope as fuck

[@koffinkat666]

There are ways this can happen. Some of the issue is people that are unplugged from this matrix usually have a TON of mental pain and we dull it out with DRGS.....Orginizing seems hard to do. Also we are talking about an army that could cut us down with the weappons that THEY get to use but have been banned for us, (No strong stance here on G control) They have tanks, But look at Veitnam and 'Gorrilla' warfare, They didn't accomplish much because of How the Vietkong fought SMART. Maybe I am reading too much into this, I'll be quiet.

[@lucycoleclough1182]

yh ppl unplugged kinda fade out or go guns blazing by themselves and get picked off. not great, ik communes are kinda lame anrchst suberbs sometimes, but still much better to build up, and u get the companionship. Also ppl are doing rly nice work in the computing space w stuff like gnunet. This work is usually pretty bounded to computing and like how tf we gonna build computers without bosses unless that energy is also going in to material production

[@burnhart]

i dont think the vietnam thing would work back home, that only worked for them because it was on their territory. you're very right about people who see through society's bs and decide to step in line, they suffer and often end up on drugs or medication. very sad world theyve built, works great for the corporations tho, so many docile sheep that actively dont want to see past the bullshit because its much more comfortable living in ignorance

[@brennans2286]

One of the best bands out here.

[@raymondgstanleyjr]

As an OG from NEPA, I love love this song. I wanna know who is who tho? Lol. Biden has to be the racist, right? Lmao.

[@sponky475]

Both apply to both lol

[@khurzog7125]

im new to their music so i could be totally wrong here, but i suspect this song was written prior to the 2016 election and it's hillary (criminal) and trump (racist pig)

[@readmarx420]

Whats up with the fart memes?

It happened, you sold out. Too electric, too much production, you lost your soul.

[@ShibbyPictures]

Let her kno!!

[@ApesoftheState]

@@ShibbyPicturesshh don’t tell them about the solo acoustic version of this song that’s been out for 3 years or the other song on the split

[@ShibbyPictures]

@@ApesoftheState George Soros paid for this music video

[@ApesoftheState]

@@ShibbyPicturesyou got paid? You lost your soul bro

[@captainchronic5623]
