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

No Good Deed 01:29
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—

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.

Camden Bench 01:49
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 01:12
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.
