Cut You Out 02:15
I won’t worship where you walk Or pretend that your good outweighs your faults Toxic masculinity The only fucking thing I ever see Every time you open your mouth I hate everything that comes out You think you have all the answers But you’re just a fucking cancer Out, cut you out so we’re stuck with you and there is no escape I’d get rid of you if I could find a way The system has been rigged from the inside We have to fight back, now it’s do or die Every time you open your mouth I hate everything that comes out You think you have all the answers But you’re just a fucking cancer Out, cut you out

We’re being robbed by white collar crime But how many CEOS are doing prison time? We’re locking up black people for weed And now white people profit from dispensaries? Leading the world in incarceration Why don’t we spend money that on education? Reagan lies and a war on drugs Guess who the TV painted as thugs? The rich get richer The rich get richer The rich get richer And The poor get prison The rich get richer The rich get richer The rich get richer And The poor get prison We’re Using jails to treat mental health But if you were in Rikers would you feel well? Prison guards letting anything go Think the drugs are brought in by the COs? Gouging families just to make a phone call Who here wants to see Core Civic stock fall? This prison industrial complex Why are we locking up people for profit?

listen up it’s the end of our silence Fuck off we didn’t make this virus Your racist jokes are so uninspired now we’re angry, Asian, and tired of these attacks just because of our background we watch our backs in the cities and small towns I’m sick of videos of us getting knocked down so we ask out loud Should we hide? In disguise? Can we ever feel safe again? When we die For our eyes I just wanna feel safe again All these assholes pretend they’re my best friend And then they fetishize all Asian women And then they tell me that I can’t be a real man these stupid fuckers think Korea is Japan so we can’t ignore the hate any longer what doesn’t kill us will just make us stronger we never buy into divide and conquer but still I have to ask Should we hide? In disguise? Can we ever feel safe again? When we die For our eyes I just wanna feel safe again

We’re destroying all the green for greed Mother nature crushed underneath The weight of short-sighted yellow machines A new kind of army for the industries Cause humans are a cancer And the world deserves an answer Cause humans are a cancer And the world deserves an answer So tell me where will you go when its all desert and snow? So tell me, What will do you, you can’t cook money for food So tell me what will you eat, when nothing grows in the heat So tell me what will you drink, when nothing flows from the sink? Cause you don’t know Tune in and watch the animals die from pollution blotting out the sky A generation lost its will to try Ravaging the world for those left behind Cause humans are a cancer And the world deserves an answer Cause humans are a cancer And the world deserves an answer

Your boss wants you brainwashed The caffeine is free But the health care’s not Work all day and don’t stop Catch the corporate disease Can you feel yourself rot? This world of work The 9 to 5, and 5 to 9, until you die This world of work, it doesn’t work, it’s a fucking lie Support your union fight for your rights you’re a number to them so ask yourself why they destroy picket lines putting profits over their workers lives they’ll lie to you distort the truth, say union dues, will be misused they’ll lie to you, they’ll lie about what’s best for you support your union cause Your boss wants you brainwashed
6.
You’ve got a sickness and Blue Cross has a solution all is said and done your fucking bank accounts in ruins Health care is a lie, you pay a fee, then die Cause no one can afford, no one can afford to breathe Cause some CEO needs paid We can’t see And no help is on the way a guarantee in this day and age land of the free, broke and diseased Choosing between starving and life saving medication That’s a fucking hallmark of a dying first world nation You need a cure they’ve got it Cause no one can afford, no one can afford to breathe Cause some CEO needs paid We can’t see And no help is on the way a guarantee in this day and age land of the free, broke and diseased It’s a travesty, we’re broke and diseased

They say everything’s bigger in Texas Well I guess that makes the hate grow stronger Worship god guns what are we left with? A state of ignorance, and its no wonder That its leaders have a new fucking reason To wave around their cum covered bibles Telling you that their version of Jesus Preaches hate like its going out of fucking style I’m sorry you were born in the lone star state and the life that you want can’t be your own It must seem like some cruel twist of fate But it doesn’t mean that you’re alone Cause the lovers and rebels are all on your side Standing united with your trans pride Keep the blood in your heart, and keep Your head held high stay alive Abbott’s calling for support from the Karens Cause its pretty clear who they’re gonna stand with Using the law to go after parents Whose only crime was loving their trans kids There’s courtroom that’s more like a shitshow With fake debates about some child’s welfare to all you right wing conservative transphobes Theres a special place in hell when you get there I’m sorry you were born in the lone star state and the life that you want can’t be your own It must seem like some cruel twist of fate But it doesn’t mean that you’re alone Cause the lovers and rebels are all on your side Standing united with your trans pride Keep the blood in your heart, and keep Your head held high stay alive

This pro-life platform is a fucking lie They don’t give a shit if a person with a uterus dies It’s not about protecting kids If it was then they’d help trans children live They’re attacking those who don’t look like them Making America hate again We tried to fucking warn you We tried to fucking warn you 1,2, the court is coming for you 3,4, fascists at your door 5,6, they got a crucifix 7,8 and a vision of hate bullshit highest court in the land Protecting the rights of the straight white man A rapist justice making rules Banning abortions, putting guns in schools Ruling for life and not even elected It’s clear whose rights they want protected We tried to fucking warn you We tried to fucking warn you 1,2, the court is coming for you 3,4, fascists at your door 5,6, they got a crucifix 7,8 and a vision of hate

Executioners 02:58
8 minutes 46 seconds ends a lifetime ACAB cops killing people for some small crimes History has made these wounds and now they’re cutting deeper Blue lives, blue cars on patrol like the reaper I can’t believe that I’m awake open your eyes modern day slave patrols hunting freedom singers nazi fucks with badges and some itchy trigger fingers now the army’s at our door treating us like insurgents law and order, white supremacy, see this is the convergence I can’t believe that I’m awake open your eyes
