Abandoned at birth Conditioned to gender Mincing round school Take shit like no other Crushed by the system Hassle for nothing See things they want to Life not for living Strangled and beaten Tossed to the ground Dancing and smiling Thoughts twist around Simmering rage for exposure so dire Nobody hears you. Scream through the fire The abuse in society the hush of the quiet Somebody notice. It's time to riot Opportunity flows like the batons do rain Nobody sees you. Your cries are in vain. The abuse in the daylight. The hush of the quiet Somebody notice. It's time to riot. Protecting the innocent Locked up by those sicker Starve you with hunger Smiles faces flicker Your head is illusions You can't know the moon Philosophy is nonsense Passed off as a loon Ignored and belittled Though your heart is talking Blood runs past your feet It's you they're stalking Simmering rage for exposure so dire Nobody hears you. Scream through the fire The abuse in society the hush of the quiet Somebody notice. It's time to riot Opportunity flows like the batons do rain Nobody sees you. Your cries are in vain. The abuse in the darkness. The hush of the quiet Somebody notice. It's time to riot.

Intellectually terrorise us who know our truth Swan over here your privilege so uncouth For folk that prize my genitals so highly You showed us yours and missed the point entirely I can see clearly your unwashed agenda And I'm a fucked up agender gender bender Don't try and stop it, there's no way to defend ya You know our existence will end ya! Must we endure your snotty expressions Do we judge all women by Myra's indiscretions? And as you deny your murderous duplicity Don't you weaponise my lived authenticity! I can see clearly your unwashed agenda And I'm a fucked up agender gender bender Don't try and stop it, there's no way to defend ya We know our existence will end ya!

your ridicule and disbelief tantamount to torture your attitude and ignorance show me where your thoughts are you believe you understand and need to learn no lesson but you can’t see that what you are is a massive contradiction you think you're so right on in that tie-dye with those piercings the ugliness shines thru you highlights the bits your missing sat there on your sheepskin rug with all the talk of dharma head so far into this idea love you can’t see the spiritual panorama you think that life owes you flesh coz you think you are nature i dont see you in that way - i see you as a new age traitor complicit in pain and execution of a mother and her babies all the while chanting I love you I love you thinking you are exonerated radical thoughts so far away although you like the label water down spirit, sanction the killing of all beings sat round the oppression table a state you claim to own, understand, know and be born of When stripped back all your really care for is the violence you have sworn off
5.
Just like the revolution And at Bharat's heed I can feel you slipping Slipping away from me The violence in our fucking The police building's on fire Once delivered great things Now waned to desire The bottom has fallen completely From our future plans Of anal sex in the tops of trees Chewing the dick off the man Drive to change the inside Killed by society Killed by conservatism Again we're on our knees The revolution and my love Are they slipping away from me The circus trucks may be vandalised But statism vandalised me The revolution and my love Are they slipping away from me The circus trucks may be vandalised Statism vandalised me me me me!

Is the point of life just to have more things To earn more cash get super thin buy the next TV, the right vegan food Feed the fads, feel anew. Is the point of life to drift aimlessly Down the tow path with the family Dress the kids in the latest threads Then drown the puppies ripped from their beds Is the point of life just to have more fun Keep on drinking girl, fuck everyone Keep the vomit down although that seems absurd Keep trudging through, don't speak a word What am I looking for in all this fun What am I looking for on the canal with Mum TV is shit and makes me scream I've starved myself and shaved pristine. What I am looking for in the latest car As I drive about poisoning the stars Is this the peak of it our time here Buying things because we're lost in fear Created woes are now our everyday As we take the kids to the park to play Our thoughts are locked by those who know the game Those who work against us, with no shame. Keep buying things don't think beyond Keep buying things and you'll belong Keep buying things to our detriment Keep buying things, it's all well meant Keep buying things you dunno why Keep buying things that make you cry Keep buying things that make you coo Keep buying things that manipulate you Our thoughts are boxed our thoughts are holed By corporate greed and those in the know It doesn't pay if we search for truth In the soil we walk on, in horn and hoof It doesn't pay if we look around At all her nature at the profound Then you're lost in the world unknown Despatched departed dismissed as stoned Keep buying things don't think beyond Keep buying things and you'll belong Keep buying things to our detriment Keep buying things, it's all well meant Keep buying things you dunno why Keep buying things that make you cry Keep buying things that make you coo Keep buying things that manipulate you

Dependency 02:25
The first time was good the second was better I keep on and on until I get the letter The daddy state comes and delivers the goods Feeds me and keeps me alive in the woods But is it enough or is it too much I keep on and on with my face in the rough I keep on and on with my face on the floor You think i know nothing but I know the score Whether the fist of your sex or the fist of the state. I can feel it inside me the nails do grate Fever pitch rises to dependency rate Just lie there and take it. It's hard not to hate.

First he came with the window pole Speared my flanks to take control The seconds stretched south and north I grabbed for the phone he asserted the cord Not the curly side that connected help The flat cord to the wall above the shelf Turned too slowly, helped him python my neck Fingers gasped for relief from reality check I fell to my knees my head it went light I came here for salvage not expecting to fight Salvation it came, vignette faded shrill Just as he exclaimed I'll proove I can kill.

Death Cart 05:22
It's hard to want to stop now that you've started I scream NO but the word's are not imparted Wrist deep in the chasm, my foot on your shoulder Ready to stop you should the wind turn colder Is it just because you crossed my palm with silver That this sacred obligation makes my mind a quiver I walked the same labyrinth and arrived this plague romancer Did you pass me the plague curse? My gods love a chancer Flat on my back in the hospital bed Is it my lungs or my arse that has bled? The machine is enthralling And the trauma does smart I relive my best life here on the death cart Living my best life on the death cart I relive my best life on the death cart.
10.
My skin cracks from the blow A thirteenth blow just to show What they think I should know I'm bleeding, bruised, on the floor Still the copper goes from more To thrash my body crush my core A battle since the dawn of power Passionate trauma by the hour Society tastes so fucking sour But our resolve is strong They feed it with their constant wrongs I know the revolution will be long But I believe in revolution!

The Debt 07:19
Where do you go when you need to cry When the cancer is swollen from fear you will die Is this it for me now, did I make a mistake Fielding the distance, swimming the lake For as the disease rises and waxes my neck I have no where to turn to, alone with the debt For as the disease rises and waxes my neck I have no one to turn to, alone with the debt I stopped all the rioting I sobered my brain Ran from those close and embraced the rain The intention was filled but I'm left with a void The storm it was brewing and I'm here in the cold For as the disease rises and waxes my neck I have no where to turn to, alone with the debt For as the disease rises and waxes my neck I have no one to turn to, alone with the debt Yes ,the intention was filled but I'm left with regret The seas they are rising and we're trapped in the nets For as the disease rises and waxes my neck I have no one to turn to alone with the debt Is this it for me now, did I make a mistake Fielding the distance, swimming the lake
