lyrics

"Take Back Our Ports"

Hook:

Take Back the Port Hook
No Justice No Peace, No Freedom, No Sleep
eat out the dumpsters
push ‘em in the streets,
blocking military caravans for weeks,
build barricades, fight till we breach (pause)
the walls of the beast,
punching cops in the teeth
no justice no peace.
<No freedom no sleep>

Strife Verse:

The feds want a perverted
Justice only for their own kind
If drafted, I’ll be a deserter
But I won’t run and hide
I don’t serve the
Red, Blue, and White
Well-fed, rich, and snide
privilege gained over time
they commit ethnocide
pave over paradise
(capitalism) turns most our lives into merchandise,
We buy masochistic hype
Just to sport sweatshop nikes
System’s parasitic like germs and lice,
most barely alive, nose put to stones that grind
slavery for centuries, legacy that blinds
(Steadily)
submit to their Matrix, waste time endlessly
On misplaced hatred, more like Cranial leprosy
Instead it be displaced victimhood
the cops licked ya good,
knew you would
pick the wrong side of the fence to be riding,
from your role in oppression you’re always hiding.
No denying,
National pride’s
A slippery slope to genocide
When the media decides
The only serious loss is American lives
the price others have paid is high
Ya Patriotism burns children alive
