Good Riddance say there's "No More System To Believe In" on new protest song

Santa Cruz punk/melodic hardcore vets Good Riddance are back with a new protest single, “No More System To Believe In,” that their label Fat Wreck Chords says reflects “a deeper disillusionment, questioning a global society that seems to fuel the very struggles it should work to resolve.” Vocalist Russ Rankin adds:

To believe in this society as a vast, interconnected body, and that the voiceless suffering and malaise of our neighbors are ours as well to bear. Actioned by lifting each other up in the small, nascent moments when there is no immediate glory or brilliant reward in it. And by reimagining the breathless vigor and star-crossed hope with which this grand experiment was originally conceived. For no machination of government, nor whip of authority, may succeed in stifling our capacity to care for, and support one another in what must ultimately be a unified struggle for vitality, liberty, and a more equitable distribution of life’s blessings.


The song comes with a lyric video (by J Sek of backyardgraffix.com) that splices together live footage and clips of war and political corruption, and you can watch that below. The band also has an accompanying new t-shirt available, with 100% of proceeds going to the Fair Elections Center.
