about

It's becoming obvious that US Americans live in a political system that will not fix itself. Billionaires won't save us. Cops won't save us. A majority of politicians are more interested in fundraising and elections than the needs of many. They vote against our interest, they incarcerate our people, they create systems where we are almost serfs that are perpetually indebted to them and have no power to revolt over them. No more. There are thousands in the streets. This one is for them.

lyrics

Lyrics
I see the warriors with their pens
Armed with their plastic swords, they can't defend
They grab the papers in their bags
Feeble attempts to lose their toe tags

List all the reasons I should pay
Hand me a lease I'll burn it all day
If any grip could ever be had
Oh they have lost it
Oh they have lost it

I'll tear it all down
I own it
It's mine to waste
I'll be comatose
Before I give it away
There is no way
Their kind will save it

If there's a moment
Then the moment is now
(You own yourself)
