lyrics

"The most violent element in our society, is ignorance" - Emma Goldman
Veils of virtue and glory mystify blind the simple minded to conquering
imperialistic history, genocide, slavery, the ghosts of the past still taunting
Vilification, criminalization since the Nixon administration
Law enforcement instead of treatment, incarceration of the nation
Push the poor into hopeless hoods, remove hope, spill dope, keep them there for good
For-profit prisons offer free labor, legal slavery puts bread on a politician's table
When peaceful calls for change are put down,
It's time to burn it all to the ground.
Bricks and bottles of fire bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
Bricks and bottles of fire bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
We talk a lot about revolution but what are we doing?
Most of the nation fails to see the thinly veiled supremacy
Status quo complacency, American Gethsemane
Division is the enemy of a world of diversity, the control machine creates conformity.
Humility is the stepping stone to unity.
Liberals and moderates are cowards in power collecting profits
Republicans tryna get rid of us, , biblical idiots sending our taxes overseas in rockets
When they give billions to corporations it's seen as a bailout, but a universal basic income, no that's a handout.
If we could meet everyone's basic needs, our incomes would stimulate the economy
Destroy Wall-Street, dismantle the Oligarchy.
But those brainwashed by the greedy won't agree.
Bricks and bottles of fire, bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
Bricks and bottles of fire, bricks and bottles of fire!
Con-man corona-contrarian tyrannical toddler Machiavellian manipulator, master exaggerator
inciting the flames hatred, allegations of rape, empassioning racists , gassing the kids in the cages.
Satisfying the bias of the selfish by selling that things couldn't be better,
Selling himself as a picture of power and wealth on television presenting his pompousness, professing nothing regally
Blaming our economic problems, on non-issues by calling human beings illegal
we are not a nation but a business that values money over people
I don't give a fuck what you say, the system is evil
They call it anti-woke but what they means is anti-black
anti-gay, anti-trans, load up and attack
Fascism hides under a different name
Capitalism is the name of the game
Redirect anger, the rich are to blame
No matter who's president it's always the same.
What can we do when justice isn't for all,
Do we build our communities or build up a wall?
Act locally, take care of those you love, and who love you
If we're all together than there's nothing they can do.
