I took an oath to uphold the only way of life that we've ever known. I swear to you that I'm a good person and that I did a kind act earlier this morning.
So what's with the attitude? I've made these sacrifices all for you. So what's with the attitude? Without me, what ever would you do?
You took an oath to uphold capital, the social order, the racist status quo. You're good and righteous, this you know. Wealth, power, and your gun, oh how they tell you so.
So what's with the attitude? It's how there's laws for us and laws for you. So what's with the attitude? It's how the hatred underwrites everything you do.
Not all oaths are worth keeping.

Burn the Precinct

Whose blood did you expect to see spilling out into the streets after the police were militarized? Yet somehow you still act surprised.
Please spare me the briefing. "Blue Lives" are not a real thing.
Whose bodies did you think you'd see gassed, beaten, murdered with impunity after the police were militarized? Don't give me that centrist shit, you've picked a fucking side.
As for me, I'll be over here cheering, smiling as they burn the precinct.
Burn. Burn. Burn.

Impark, get fucked. I'm not gonna pay to use your parking lot. I'd rather get towed than give you a cent. It's a little risky, but I'm okay with it. You can threaten me with tickets all day, but I'm going to park there anyway. I don't care what the letters say. I don't lose sleep, I just throw them away.
Not today. No, not today.

I really wanted to slash your tires when I saw your tour van parked in that back alley. All the way from NYC. Didn't do it because I wanted you and your liberty spikes to leave.
I regret the time you got my money. I was young, but not that young unfortunately. Gotta cut it with the hero worship. With heroes like these, I'm going to need a better set of cutlery.
I really wanted to slash your tires.

Hey Pancake, Part 2
00:19

My dog Pancake is very nice, I just wish she'd listen when we say to come inside. My dog Pancake is very sweet, I just wish she'd stay out of the neighbour's compost heap.

That uneasy feeling is just the last breath, the death rattle of your class consciousness. Those values you held so dear, but with time it becomes quite clear. You found a way to depart. Shake my head, scream inside my heart.
No war but the class war.
So add your name to the long list, alongside traitors, liars and dipshits. Got you so convinced that somehow you're gonna be different. Profess support, lie to yourself. You got yours, now it's time to get out.
No war but the class war.

Scratch
00:11
|
|

All this talk of peace, love, unity. But at the sight of disagreement, you can feel the hatred seethe. How come every time it seems that when you scratch a hippie, a fucking nazi bleeds.

The Reckoning of Time
01:26

Sunken faces, have we met before? Don't make eye contact, down here it means so much. Stuck between unwelcome and not allowed to leave. A benevolent system that only wants to see you bleed.
And our monuments to affluence are surrounded by mouthwash bottles and human shit. Our monuments to affluence are symptoms of a death drive I hope we can resist.
If you listen closely I swear you can hear the hum of a sadness that swells inside and will overcome the sound of bustling business sectors and intersections, where we hide from our decisions and pass judgment from above.

Can someone help me please? The world as promised, not received -- my birthright, passed down through my forefathers to me. Racist books, misogyny. I swear it's not as bad as it seems. Participation trophies... Everything: an attack on me.
I pledge allegiance to my state, my flag, my god. Right-wing sensitivity squad.
You keep telling me to just die mad, but I'm not mad, I'm laughing actually. They're coming for all I crave, like not being tread on, saying the quiet parts loud, and my heritage of hate.
I pledge allegiance to my state, my flag, my god. Right-wing sensitivity squad.
