*Lyrics by Paul Scanty and Jordan Criss

lyrics

You’ve elected your progressives who promise minor changes // But who fills the private prisons and increases police spending? // Protecting fascists in the streets, tear gassing out poor tenants // Murder people for no reason, claiming uprisings are ‘violence’ // All these years and still I wonder— // Who you think that they’re protecting? // All this time and still I’m asking— // Why the fuck am I still asking? // History shows us what is done to opposition // Taking violent action when supremacy is threatened // Prey on class division, blaming victims of oppression // Exterminating all who advocate resistance // The realization that this systemic situation has caused massed incarceration, a contemporary plantation // But now we’re tired, so to this white man nation // It’s time we burn this shit down, this land is ours for the taking // Who herded who into slave ships and gas chambers? // How safe you must feel not to risk your comfort at all // Progress serves you but one day this all falls down // Claim what you want cause I know whose side you’re on // History shows us what is done to opposition // Taking violent action when supremacy is threatened // Prey on class division, blaming victims of oppression // Exterminating all who advocate resistance // They colonized and took all we had left, // I pledge allegiance with my knee on their necks // Probably prosper and take pride my forefathers had broke through those chains // No question I’ll do the same // I’d rather be hated and free at the sake of your comfort // I could really give a fuck if you think peace should really come first // Cause it wasn’t peace when my ancestors were hanging // So don’t ask for peace when my piece gets to banging // All these years and still I wonder— // Who you think that they’re protecting? // All this time and still I’m asking— // Why the fuck am I still asking? // Who herded who into slave ships and gas chambers? // How safe you must feel not to risk your comfort at all // Progress serves you but one day this all falls down // Claim what you want cause I know whose side you’re on // No longer holding interest in a call to opposition // Constructing social systems, from the ashes of oppression // No more class division at the hands of tyrant fascists // Demand your liberation through the mass emancipation
