about

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.” –Alanis Obomsawin

lyrics

They’ve got a name for me
Not one that I might choose
No matter how you play
It’s all rigged so you will lose
They’ve got it all mapped out
First scream to last horrible breath
Struggle, strive, fail, fucked
Life lived in cerebral death

It seems so daunting, the walls built so high
An endless war to exist
Bludgeoned subservience, “be meek or be destroyed”
I’ll never give up, never give in
It’s in my nature to resist

They’ve got a game for you
Not one you’d probably pick
Your predetermined slot
Chase the carrot or get the stick
Tug the wheel, roll the dice
Vicious circle perpetually spun
Work, buy, consume, die
Life over ’fore it’s begun

It seems so daunting, their lies so prevalent
More than one kind of terrorist
Bludgeoned subservience, “be meek or be destroyed”
But never give up, never give in
Embrace your nature to resist

They’ve got a plan for us
But in the end who fucking cares?
To them we’re merely things
Little more than folding chairs
We’re here to clog their gears
New world recidivists
Not property
For our survival we resist
