lyrics

Sulfur:
below the surface, where it's worthless to give purpose to parlor tricks
ignored by politicians, leeches and the other ticks
sometimes there's no fix, you just gotta burn it down
to the ground, let the ringin of they sirens be the sound
of freedom, cause we need 'em like we need a bad joke
manmade disease, or the bodies of kinfolk
and i ain't kiddin when i'm spittin grandfather a vet
lost a son to agent orange, yea, it seem a bad bet
the odds always against us, trust we bust anyway
what else can I do, keep it true, till ya dying day
duck and stray or fade away, what else can i really say
if it's them or us, it's a must, they gon have to pay
when you lay me down, at the end of my time
gather up the ashes, not a box made of pine, and find
the nearest government building to ignite
cause the fire that we light ain't extinguished tonight (NEVER)


Everybody looks the same on fire.

kHill:
lately i been feeling like i can't sleep
waking up to reality, it seems we can't breathe
doubleplusbad motives feeling ever more hopeless
off come the blinders they tell us to learn to cope
so quickly it can all go in a puff of smoke
that unseen hand of authority holding on your throat
whether it's a hoodie or a browncoat, let the pigs know
we can see you, and at the end of hte daywe always side with the people.
disobedience is a must until the field is equal
black lives matter it don't matter how you feel
derailing the whole topic like WHAT ABOUT ME
with some sideways comments on a facebookf eed
educate yourself about the meaning of privledge
advance the movement of by wielding and subverting it
say something, scream something, break something if you must
we won't represent a system that doesn't represent all of us.
