Speak for me, spit on me, sell me.
Speak for me, spit on me, sell me.
Empty of me, reproduce me, export me.
One day we’ll walk out and never return
It’ll be you who breathes ashes of ruin

One way mutual aid lifestyle
Liberal delight
can’t meet the eyes of your neighbor?
Can’t make it feel right?
Mutual aid lifestyle
No end in sight
But can’t meet the eyes of your neighbor?
Our so called “leaders”
escape the strife.
How many must have nothing to lose,
Before we strike?
One way mutual aid lifestyle
No end in sight
But can’t meet the eyes of your neighbor?
They name leaders
Against our will.
Cloaked in power
Beat riots into symbols, get elected to kill
Our so called “leaders”
escape the strife
How many must have nothing to lose,
Before we strike
How many must have nothing to lose,
Before we strike
How many must have nothing to lose,
Before we—

Relative Power

Don’t have to feel a thing when you're the goddamn world police
Paranoid with power, overthrow and infiltrate
Can’t define freedom but kill for it still
Discipline with imposition of the dollar bill
Infect other nations, deport them when they leave.
Fear at your borders affirms your hegemony.
Can’t define freedom but kill for it still
Discipline with imposition of the dollar bill
If its not in front of me, I don’t wanna fucking see
The unholy war of my economy
If you’re fucked at my expense makes no difference to me
I can still sleep at night thinking you want to be me.
Manufactured consent
Colonial mindset.

No sleep; split seats;
Pain, sloughed by greed.
Bare lights, sharp spikes, punishing human need.
No sleep; split seats;
Pain, sloughed by greed.
Bare lights, sharp spikes, punishing human need.
Choose to let you bleed.
1 wall between you and vacancy.
Absurdity
Pretend not to see
1 wall between you and vacancy.
Absurdity
Pretend not to see
Choose to let you bleed
No sleep; split seats;
Pain sloughed by greed.
Bare lights, sharp spikes, punishing human need.
Choose to let you bleed.

Vanity!
Falling back on posturing
They’re smiling:
We’re slitting throats just to hold the key.
Master’s game
Have to admit that you love to play
what you crave:
To glow, to bask in your flame
At least I’m not to blame
I’m not to blame
I'm not to blame.
Mimicry!
Critique sells but action bleeds
It’s a living
Pretending we want to get free
Master’s game
Have to admit that you love to play--
What you crave
To glow, to bask in your flame
At least I'm not to blame
I’m not to blame
I’m not to blame.
Gotta make myself an enemy
Self preservation mentality
At least I'm not to blame
I’m not to blame
I'm not to blame
I’m not to blame.

Social Dream

Biding your time
Dying in line
Thought it would be more than this
To live with the voice in your head.
That you should be so grateful
While the knife is twisting in your back
Biding your time
Dying in line
Thought it would be more than this
To live with the voice in your head.
That you should be so grateful
While the knife is twisting in your back
Worn at the seams, but never forgetting your dreams.
