lyrics

We get taxed
Funnelin money right back
Fundin illegal attacks; people get blasted
kids'll get pieces of shrapnel in backs
Fat little cats get all of that capital back
We see a fraction of that
Pushed in complicity with uncompassionate acts
Too numb to actually act
They keep tellin us to remain nonviolent
What the fuck doesn't make a bomb violent?
They buckwildin I'm sposed to keep calm and silent
or they beat me in broad daylight
and since I'm white I get it light; at least I live
More death and more crime the more police they give
No respect so there's no more peace to give
No respect so there's no more peace to give
So which side will you sit by when the shit goes down and it gets live?
Humanity, sanity, science?
Or lyin vampires you know you been bit by?
Most Americans barely can get by,
so other people we thievin get sucked dry
There won't be sympathy for who they're fucked by
It's in your own self interest to cut ties

With this imperial plot, on its way out
This is the burial plot
Force em to hear it alot
The force when the whole proletariat rock

If you ain't down with reparations
If you ain't about liberation
If you coastin complacent, if you a patriot fan of this nation. . .
If you a white European you receivin all the benefits
of genocidal colonizers
Check the shoe, I bet it fits
If it's true then get a grip, don't get up in your feels
Work past that fragility and get up on your heels
It's a passive villainy to pass the buck
Your passivity's a choice to, so that's what's up
We ain't native; we strangers to this continent
Dangerous, incontinent
Shittin all over it and onto it
Stole land, dishonored it
Kidnapped some people to work it
Created a system of racism, all of it legally worded
Used bad science to justify it
And when the klan would go ridin your grandma kept silent
Did grandpa stop cops when he saw em get violent
He let em bomb islands, shit, volunteered as pilot
Dad followed suit; Bombin and shootin, invadin the desert
And that's just a tiny lil excerpt
Yet yer convinced you shouldn't have to put in the effort

To end this imperial plot on its way out
This is the burial plot
Force em to hear it alot
The force when the whole proletariat rock
