lyrics

Raise a rebel fist
Stay forever pissed
Strike proportionate
Before you’re too poor to live
The less fortunate
Will spark metamorphosis


An escape artist,
Until the day I’m a carcass,
Paid ta count your losses
My ways remain lawless
Revenge is catharsis
My blade is the sharpest
Sew seeds, Reap harvests
Keep my scope on target
Leaders broke they promise
Rich thieves gave us no options
Bring a blow-torch to his office
A four-four to his fortress
What’s the source of his profits
Evolve or be left a hostage
Force the boss to pay for this hardship
Slave for a mortgage or stay on the margins
Caught in paid bondage or waste away jobless,
They’ll call the poor monstrous
Check the context,
Every action has a consequence
It’s pure carnage
Thrown through the gauntlet
Of modern-day economics
Commoners need courage and confidence,
Mob with enough heat to break thermometers
Get autonomous, before they start bombing us
Put fingers around the esophagus of monopolists


Raise a rebel fist
Stay forever pissed
Strike proportionate
Before you’re too poor to live
The less fortunate
Will spark metamorphosis


Right wing politicians are money launderers
Trafficking power and policy for corporate sponsorship
Financial goliaths take service sector hostages
All of them trapped in a skyscraper sarcophagus
Will a rising tide save the living
If glaciers melt before the titanic starts sinking
Liberty bell stopped ringing a long time ago,
Pavlovian conditioning nursery rhymes for soap
Whitewash the world
Triumph of the swill
The truth hurts but ignorance kills
Separate the fake from the real
Leaders are frauds
Heroes are flawed misdirection
We’re outlaws and
There’s no such thing as perfection
History is written by the very rich
The poor get blamed for everything
Treating the symptoms
When the disease is systemic
Ignoring the victims
Reformists rule out vengeance
But What you gone do
When the boys in blue
Roll through
Like they own you, like they own you
We won’t be passive now
We will stand our ground
Never let the bastards grind us down
