    It Is Right to Rebel is an exciting and thought provoking new record from Mat Callahan & Yvonne Moore and friends. The double LP consisting of 15 tracks are mostly rooted in the folk music tradition with the unifying elements of rhythm, group singing and acoustic music. Lyrically it deals with topics such as the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, political prisoners and environmental issues.

    The central theme of the record is awareness. It Is Right to Rebel is a battle cry, a wake up call, an invitation to join the struggles of our time, a celebration of rebellion and social movements and a musical thumbs up to all the people that realize that big changes have to be made.

    The double album comes in a gatefold sleeve with cover art made by graphic designer and author of The Encyclopedia of Political Record Labels, Josh McPhee, from the Just Seeds collective.

    It Is Right to Rebel is a true product of internationalism. It is recorded in Switzerland by an American and a gang of Swiss musicians, the cover art is made by an American activist from Brooklyn and the record is released by a Norwegian leftist record label.

    The release is limited to 500 physical copies world wide.

Planes crash into Twin Towers. Bang. Iraq, Afghanistan invaded. The world awash in oil and heroin. Iraqi oil, Afghani heroin. "Mission Accomplished," declares the President. American values. Our freedom. Stars and Stripes forever...or?
– Mat Callahan

lyrics

Pick Your Poison

Oil in the ground, poppies in the field
Someone starts shooting and you gotta take sides
Call it freedom 'cause you got a choice
Between arsenic and cyanide
Pick your poison

Got to embrace the suicide bomber
Gotta make peace with a world on fire
Gotta bear the White Man's burden
Salute the flag, this is your Empire

Oil in the ground, poppies in the field
Someone starts shooting and you gotta take sides
Call it freedom 'cause you got a choice
Between arsenic and cyanide
Pick your poison

Down in the shadow of the valley of death
Where lock and load is the Lord's command
Dry bones rattle like castanets
Welcome, Boys, to the Promised Land

Oil in the ground, poppies in the field
Someone starts shooting and you gotta take sides
Call it freedom 'cause you got a choice
Between arsenic and cyanide
Pick your poison

Bridge:
Got bombs where they once had orchards
Got guns where they once had trees
Got barbed wire instead of oranges
Got checkpoints where there was only a breeze

This is your salvation, our civilization
Here’s your liberation, join the celebration
This is your salvation, our civilization
Here’s your liberation, join the celebration

Oil in the ground, poppies in the field
Someone starts shooting and you gotta take sides
Call it freedom 'cause you got a choice
Between arsenic and cyanide
Pick your poison
