This song goes out to the protesters
Who will deliver the message not undisturbed
By the authorities and other laws in place
Who hold similar views on how to deal with the way
That these radical people who were raised by the state
Might begin to question all the laws in place
And central to that questioning
Is that these people in power fuck up sometimes
When caught in the centre of a heated debate
And stapled to all these accusative names
The people in power send some riot police
Who mediate with guns and try to keep the peace
But what kind of peace answers honest questions
With guns to the face and harmful weapons
Try to talk first next time in a non-threatening way
To see why they feel disrespected
This song goes out to the activists
Which is something they must have a hard time with
Removing themselves from their comfort zones
In favour of making things better for those
Anti-capitalist, anti-patriarch
Anti-anything that softens the heart
To the oppressive structures that exploit the weak
And go about business as usual
Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
