Enemy in Blue

To manage and control a working population
Using lethal force in a peaceful situation
Do what you're told to do- you're an enemy in blue
Beat 'em kill 'em bloody then you hide out in your station
Internal review is a 2 week paid vacation
and when it subdues you're still an enemy in blue
If I stand up for myself in existent confrontation
Or try to stand for others in this god forsaken nation
When our message goes through appears the enemy in blue
If we try to scream for change and we try to break the silence
Packed up block by block and we're stretching out for miles
When it's more than I and you appears the enemy in blue
When it's time to fight back and you can no longer cope
But police pop pop projectiles and you're gonna get smoked
If you ever come to- you'll see an enemy in blue
In the ashes of the old we will build ourselves anew
We will fill the needs of many and not pockets of the few
When the revolution's through there'll be no enemies in blue
FUCK THE POLICE

Malcontent

I don't want a dictator and I don't want a standing army
I don't want to hear a jackboot kicking at my door
I don't want a president I wanna be a malcontent
I don't want illusions of the sky when it's the floor
See you writhing in your sleep as you tell yourself "it's not so bad"
While they oil their machines and try to say "you're supposed to vote for that"
See the terror of police. How dare you say that you're neutral?
In a fascist regime a boot on our heads is gonna be the future.
Children forced in a cage
Disease running rage
Citizens will ignore
It's America where the options are the same as before

Feed the World

Feed the world poison
Feed the world lies
Feed us garbage
Feed us pesticides
The government is a corn monster and we're all corn dumpsters.

Pissed off just thinking about how there is no justice in this land
The courts are rigged for all of those who show their money in their hand
America- the great imperial project that I despise
From sea to shining sea, I wanna wash my hands of all the lies
A grand old flag flies in the courtroom where the murders go free
White caps and robes with jobs as police and their Nazi sympathies
Through amber waves of grain- a monoculture hegemonic blight
I don't wanna lay my eyes on such a sight
And you know The Onion was right when they said that
I DON'T WANT A COUNTRY
And you know you're willing to fight for dignity
Instead of nickel and dimed wage
So you're laid out, well don't stay down
We gotta stand ready for another fight
America is gettin' 86'd tonight
Getting all worked up thinking about my hatred for the DHS
Billions of dollars squandered to pretend the US is the best
In my America squalor is the median and mode
And what so proudly we hail masters as we're doing what we're told
If this is their land then it's our land too, just like that Guthrie song
Except there's borders will with patriots think they control the throng
It's those huddled masses, yearning, breathing, tired, sick and poor,
the wretched refuse in this world held back by red tape at the door

Rocksteady Beat
04:30
|

I try to soothe my soul with a rocksteady beat
But I'm catchin' paranoia from the COVID-19
Is the disease gonna be the death of me?
Or will it be the bullets from a fascist regime?
I try to get some fresh air, but they're burning all the green
You think your vote is counted in a politician's scheme?
Opinion gettin' trapped in the oil lobby beast
And the rhetoric's been unchanged since when I was 15
It's gonna collapse; it's bound to implode. That's the way that it goes...
So I hear the arctic crack, I hear impending doom
Watch a market crash, it's gonna carve away your tomb
When the ice breaks you know we're gonna be subdued
and the sea's are gonna rise and then there's nothing left to do
Waiting in a hesitation for a flood
Are you bracing for the swells or will you turn around and run?
Man-made catastrophe for you to see,
Are you gonna be police or will you torch an SUV?
They say there's debate up in the corporate news
But how can I relate to all these corporate fools?
A dog whistle turned to call for civil war
And the national guard always knows who they fight for
We used to steal food when we were looking for a meal
And we used to justify it 'cause we had a raw deal
I used to steal booze for my broke ass to relax
Now they're calling me a looter with a target on my back
Prayers fall on deaf ears on this winter solstice.
Prayers fall on deaf ears- God himself wouldn't notice.
The center cannot hold, so we'll plan for attack
With a cold hard vengeance hit the market back.
Throw your bombs.

Daggers

Nights are long, the sun is turning black
I can feel the bones pressed in my back
Days are short, the air is getting thin
My blood is cold as it drains out from my skin
It's hard to say, it's hard to know which way goes on and on and on
We won't stop at the beach
We swim out in to the middle of the ocean
We sink down, down, down
Like a rocket ship, a premonition of a catalyst
but we don't fear these depths
No we don't fear our deaths
We fear our lives becoming lost and forgotten, never eaten just rotten, no relief from exhaustion
No we don't fear what's next
(Big yeehaw)
(Uh oh)
On horses backs we'll carry our luggage and travel our homes far far away
To a place to a place that we heard through the letters and newscasts of some better day
And through the dust through the tears and the dirt we will hike up the mountains and down through the mud
And through the blood through the blood we will travel across rivers and valleys of nothing but death
We know that it comes for us all but we won't break our stride or fall
We won't stutter or slur our words when we spit in the faces of our enemies
We'll just say no
Our verses end but they won't be here we'll fight to our deaths and we'll live through our fears
When our enemies call we'll meet them in the streets banners held high daggers in our teeth

I SAW TWO SHOTGUN SHELLS, A SOLO CUP, AND A BANANA PEEL OUTSIDE THE CEMETARY- SEEMS LIKE A HELL OF A TIME!
"WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?" SO IT GOES AND THEN I'M TOLD DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO TO BARREL THROUGH LIFE
I'VE BEEN TO THE SEMINARS FOR US TO DISCUSS WHAT WE ARE, THE SHIT WE DID TO GET BY, AND THE CRIME THAT IT TOOK
ANARCHY ROBOT, GET A JOB, AND GO TO CHINA, INSPIRATION FROM QUOTATIONS IN A LITTLE RED BOOK
Heartbeat against the time clock. As the violinists play and mourn to police cracking skulls 'til dawn, I'll be shedding tears trying to write another protest song. Our streets push back the riot cops. (Hearts beat in outrage and our streets push back) And I still believe in Equality.
I'M DRUNK AND WOBBLY IN WISCONSIN SHOUTING "LABOR UNREST!" CHANNEL MY AGGRESSION, RELEASE ON A PICKET LINE.
I'D LIKE TO CREATE MY OWN VISION OF THE WORLD OR HOW I'D LIKE TO SEE IT, BEAT 'EM BACK, DETHRONING THE DIVINE.
SO YOU'RE AN "INDIVIDUAL", OR MAYBE YOU'RE A FUCKING WOOK, DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU'RE A PRODUCT OF THE STATE.
CALL IT QUIXOTIC AND CHAOTIC BUT I'M VOWING TO DESTROY SOCIAL TOTALITY AND START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.
Boom boom boom boom, kaboom boom boom.

Running up, up and down this mountain with no end in sight
This is no kind of life
Pushing up, pushing up on this boulder there's no meaning to this plight
Just toil and strife
But I'm so tired I can barely sleep
The sheep are counting sheep are counting sheep are counting me
And I'm so full of dread but it won't go away
No it never goes away
Now I'm stuck here wasting away in my fear I've soiled my room
Oh what fucking filth
Every day is just like every other day when you're living in a tomb
This is no kind of life
I'm so angry I can barely see there's just too much there's just too much there's just too much around me
And I'm so full of dread and it won't go away
It never goes away
