I read an interview with the singer,Penelope Houston.She said the lyrics were tongue in cheek,a satire of fanatical movements and their sycophants.The Avengers thought it was hilarious people took the lyrics so seriously.
We are the leaders of tomorrow. We are the ones to have the fun. We want control. We want the power. Not gonna stop until it comes. (Chorus) We are not Jesus Christ. We are not fascist pigs. We are not capitalist industrialists. We are not communists. We are the one. We will build a better tomorrow. The youth of today will be the tool. American children made for survival. Fate and our destiny we shall rule. (Chorus) I am the one who brings you the future. I am the one who buries the past. A new species rises up from the ruins. I am the one who is made to last
Awesome. This RocknRoll lives! Punk, Metal, and Hardcore is over. Update: Her politics we're kind of Socialist in the 70s, but I think she's just a mildly Right Republican Conservative nowadays like most RocknRollers.
In another SkyNet timeline, a T-800, resembling Penelope Houston, was paired with another T-800, looking like Arnold, and then both sent back to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor just before she gave birth to her infant son, John. The narrative was titled, The Terminators. 🤖
Marvel really dropped the ball by not adding this one into it's repertoire. I mean Iron Man had Sabbath and Suicidal Tendencies and Spiderman had the Ramones for obvious reasons.
"We are not Catholic, We are not communist, We are the one!" How could anyone miss the hilarious irony there? This is a perfect example of pure American-style New Wave. Our English brothers and sisters called it "post-punk," but we didn't. All of that, plus it's a great song!

its a single version, and its great. CD Records kept this album out of print since the 80s. so any version you heard other than this (single version) was off a bootleg. if you like your punk glossed over, go catch yourself some Parisnore garbage. very clean and highly produced.
Thanks, Mr. Andrew Garfield for this reccomendation!
This band was awesome, didn't even know them until I saw them open for The Damned last night.
Kook
Classic SF punk rock...Avengers never die!
Thx for the upload.
This is the band where Peter Parker was. Haha
So good
Andrew yes it's a band

@@stevepearn930 Or Cheap Tragedies
Awesome song . Love how “The Brat” plays this song too ...
This is a nice version!
Brilliant song from 1977. I'm used to the 45 version. This version sounds too clean.
Yes, yes - a thousand times yes!
Punk rock dos bons🤘
THE AVENGERS!!!
Now I see where the Go Gos got "We Got the Beat" from.
Saw them live 2 or 3 times opening for other bands in LA.
Yes sir ree, the real deal especially
The version is my favorite
We are the leaders of tomorrow.
We are the ones to have the fun.
We want control. We want the power.
Not gonna stop until it comes.
(Chorus)
We are not Jesus Christ.
We are not fascist pigs.
We are not capitalist industrialists.
We are not communists. We are the one.
We will build a better tomorrow.
The youth of today will be the tool.
American children made for survival.
Fate and our destiny we shall rule.
(Chorus)
I am the one who brings you the future.
I am the one who buries the past.
A new species rises up from the ruins.
I am the one who is made to last
Reds Kross did a really good version of this song on a Flipside video .. volume 3 or 5 ?? Have it on VHS somewhere in the Ol keepsake chest ..
Damn!!!, great Audio quality!!!
you have to start it at .75 speed then end up at just a bit above normal speed to get the effect of my turntable and really enjoy it
最高
Their guitarist was killer...left to form the Rondos.... saw them at the Mab ..and opening for the Clash
Wasnt the guitarist with Chris Isaak for years
@@johnnymfan5065 he was

was this a newer mix or redone? it sounds much better than the one on their old album
Andrew was right.
Punk '77 from u.s.a.
No wonder Andrew Garfield Spiderman thought Avenger is a band, 😂 before Avenger become popular. Avenger was actually a band,
Tom: You dont have avengers?
Awesome. This RocknRoll lives! Punk, Metal, and Hardcore is over. Update: Her politics we're kind of Socialist in the 70s, but I think she's just a mildly Right Republican Conservative nowadays like most RocknRollers.

Nowhere on Utube did any still not post the original version?

After Richard Hell and the Voidoids,the Avengers were the greatest US punk band!

We are not Jesus (Christ)
We are not Fascists (Pigs)
We are not Capitalists (Industrialists)
We are not Communists
We are the One
Subscribe count stuck on 69?
this would have worked greatly in gta v
We r not capitalists
We r not industrialists
Egalitarianism is the opiate of the mindless.
We are not communists.
Not sure why they wouldn't have said "capitalist dogs" . . . industrialists?

They say capitalists, not Catholics.
Not new wave or post punk...this is straight up San Francisco Punk Rock
The English were the ones that were post punk. Punk came from New York City and went all over the world. The English copied it!
We are not communists!
They mean they're individualist anarchists. ;)
they are avengers!!
generalmorose The only good red is a dead one. ;-)
we are the one!!
generalmorose I'm a communist
we r not politically correct
She has a Karen haircut now. :(
This sounds a lot like 'We are 138' by the Misfits.
Not really. I guess they are both in the punk genre, but they don't really sound alike other than both songs contain the lyrics "we are."
@@666psicko I have to disagree with you, but it doesn't matter because I like both songs anyway.
@happyhooliedaze I'm afraid it does, but so what! Just enjoy.
This came out in 1977, doofus. Way predates "We are 138." And the two songs are very different.

This version sucks.

But you suck for even putting up a shitty version

band was probably looking for sa rough sound and working with a limited budget at the time.
