It's Time To Riot
01:42
|
|||
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.

Agenda Gender Bender
03:46
|
|||
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!

New Age Traitor
04:10
|
|||
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
|

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!

Keep Buying Things
03:16
|
|||
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.

Attempted Murder
05:17
|
|||
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.

From the Blow
04:05
|
|||
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
