Watch them hate watch them hate,
and abuse the position this power structure creates.
One side,
watch them kill watch them kill,
because protection of property is the corporate will.
Fight back,
take the streets take the streets,
and watch allies turn on you like they work for police.
I’m sick,
from another kid dead,
and how we can’t win against the cops in our heads.
Dark or not, your blood runs cold.
The police are here, and they’re going to hurt your friends with all they have.
They kill,
they can’t stop, they can’t stop,
because fatal violence is part of the job,
Scream out,
end the silence the silence,
police are a manifestation of state sponsored violence.
Under siege by killer cops.
“…and I have fought against the crime, and I have fought and I have sacrificed myself even to eliminate the crimes that the law and the church legitimate and sanctify.”

As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston

I don't think anything I write here will do justice to the artist who commited to this.
It feels like he lets his heart open up to you with vulnerability and colours of sorrow, confusion, frustration and hope. All at once. And it's genuine.
What does it all mean? Read the title. It all falls down in place and it's truly great. szczur
