lyrics

All those years it took to beat me down
I kept fighting from “lower ground”
Pushed back to be gaslit
Abused and kicked out

My anger—not displaced
Is still justified
You can’t assimilate
Those who won’t comply

Did I have the right to education
Or indoctrination at best?
Cause the only narrative I got
Instilled my own worthlessness

My anger—not displaced
Is still justified
You can’t assimilate
Those who won’t comply

I spent years watching my tone
You shoulda been watchin your back
Proud of those slaughters—conquests for power
Every last life that this state devours
I held my tongue—cat got yours?
I’m not fit to die in your wars?
I found out then what I know now
Exactly what your “free speech” allows

Your job is to churn out workers
Compliant and able bodied
Tell me where the fuck do I fit
Inside your delusion of things?

My anger—not displaced
Is still justified
You can’t assimilate
Those who won’t comply

You think this is worth fixing?
I don’t want your so called changed
Those you abused awakened
To abolish all that remains

My anger—not displaced
Is still justified
You can’t assimilate
Those who won’t comply

Long since done watching my tone
You should still be watchin your back
Quit preachin slaughters—conquests for power
You can’t justify what this state devours
I held my tongue—who holds yours?
Is it those who orchestrate war?
Find out now what I knew then
Exactly where your “free speech” ends

Imperial lies. Imperial lies.
Fascism relies on us to comply
