lyrics

This Is Not A Political Song
These are just words
Demoralizing Muslims
Keeping marriage from some because they don’t fit your hetro-normative livestyles
The mutually exclusive statements of Choices and Life
Religious zealots judging you with eyes and ears that are told not to judge on Sunday
Black Lives Matter
Land rights
Equal rights
Marriage rights
Voting rights
Gay rights
Trans rights
Black rights
Latino rights
Indigenous rights
Workers rights
Labor rights
Immigrant rights
No one illegals on stolen land

By the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong

We politicize black and around bodies
Women
Reproduction
Babies in cages
Self identifying humans that are told they aren’t human because they don’t fit….
Whatever
From where I sit, there is a clear discussion about these lands
The only people here are colonizers, immigrants, stolen people and Indigenous people
And there are hostiles on our homelands

By the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong

In order to make it, you must be mean and cruel
Compassion doesn’t make it in this world
Dismissiveness
Divisiveness
Red MAGA hats in a sea of red that just want to believe what they want to believe
And they believe they want to punch you in your stupid face
How dare you want anything from a country that you owe everything to!
How dare you have an opinion that counters any one else!
Democracy is only what I think it should be, and not what it is
Fascism îs fun!
Hate crimes are fashionable!
He who has the money is the most pious
The made up christian doctrine of prosperity
If you have a lot of money, then you are favored by God
Especially if you’re in the so-called United States of America

By the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong

As we all clamor to survive in on our respective streets
It becomes easy to hate others that are in your way
Or who’s disposition you don’t like
That even those that want to burn everything down must have some hope tho, right?
An anarchist love affair
Right wing assault rifle infidelity
Death and taxes
Gadsden Flag used to stand for constitutionalism and limited government
Now it stands for supporting the abuse of constitutional rights and limitations of government under fascist militias
And now it’s just stupid
And exhausting
Tiki torch whites are asking you to pick a side
Because everything is black and white
And grey areas be damed!
Heaven forbid we share space
And resources and ideas
That would be communistic in nature
And I hear that is against nature
Three cheers for the train wreck that is late stage capitalism
It’s ok if everything dies, just as long as it dies under my boot

By the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong

We are in the land of spirit eaters
Remember when John said that?
Protect your spirit because you’re in the space where spirits get eaten
