lyrics

institutions of violence
bosses
schools
preachers
cops

forget the world
god is white
that corpse in your mouth
its your birthright

machines raping, castrations
disease is growth at all costs

babies
branded
life spent caged
humane bolt to a captive head

earthlings
monetized
emotional lives snuffed out
death merchants flying free
all in good taste

suffering begets superbowls
and it is not good
beatdowns at home
weakerthans starved for a brutal love

learn your place
do not stray
fear of the belt rules the day
rules the night
this oppression internalized

aggression learned
collective delusion
violence sanctioned
to keep whites in power

this is lynching, this is Parchman
41 not guilty shots

surroundings infer
this system of violence
slaughterhouse informs
the hole is the norm

this is done to the ones we love

we all pay to play

we come into a toxic way

of the families that slay

this dependence
severed in mind
forced to act we must strike down
