And it's paper that causes us to live in fear
As we document atrocities seized property here
Natives chased off land and the government ignores
Complacence with erasing in the hand is pen mightier than sword
Miners raping the girls and murdering minors or do both it's sickening
To the tribes whose lives are entwined with the land but no one is listening
Deforestation and mercury murdering as a product of gold mining
And now through covid neglect the government is genociding
The NSA spied on dilma
The DOJ aided operation carwash
Bolsonaro meets with the cia
Now the USA has a new rocket base
Joints degrade bones just grind
Stagnant raise if it rises or falls
I don't give a fuck bout the line
Line you up against the wall
Don't shoot jam session touch base not grass wipes
Induced recession through interest rate hikes
Billy Brag with the club getting cracked by nightsticks
We in drag with the slugs at your back like icepicks
We all starve for your yacht ill switch tracks on the trolley
Going hard knees are shot i'll hit back like im dolly
That is the mission find a purpose for this contest
Capitalism doesn't even work even as a concept
All potential I see for happiness is under a shroud of evil
And so I need for horrible things to happen to powerful people
Back to take it back to the eighteen hundreds and get your wig split kid
Slap the hood of the wood chipper this thing can fit so many neolibs in it
One of these days you'll fuck around and find out i said you gon get
No sense like the rhymes that you spit unintelligible school lunch debt
No lie imma treat em like they treat teens and straight bust ancaps
If another one gets on the internet and tells me to touch grass
Inflation doesn't match our cost of living
Take a match to the free market system
Wages stay stagnant pay cuts to our wrists
Do I die if i can't afford the cost to live
Inflation doesn't match our cost of living
Take a match to the free market system
Do I die if i can't afford the cost to live
We are disconnected and seek to impress with the way that we live
Through social media materialism is the end result of analysis
We are all screaming into the void no chance for us to listen
Everything becomes performative even our activism
Trained to converse with each other from a place of hate
All conflict is rehearsed live laugh love liberate
Choked out every day by the invisible hands of the market
And so we scroll unto our doom we're too defeated to start shit
And so we go on in isolation we can't form networks for revelations
Revolution starts from unions Communication failure will spell our dooming
Choked out every day by the invisible hands of the market
And so we scroll unto our doom we;re too defeated to start shit
We are all screaming into the void no chance for us to listen
Everything becomes performative even our activism
They will kill all of us off They don't need us to profit off
Everything's automated you will see there's no need for more bodies
Identity based society leads us to perpetual conflict
Discussing our differences as opposed to what we agree on its
A forced state of division and so we can't unite
Commodification of each aspect of life
Denying abortion to perpetuate the workforce
We would demand it if we could implore more
But the price gouging planet destroying fossil fuel ghouls
Keep us commenting instead of rioting we scroll and drool
If we weren't so obsessed with the opinions of others
We will go extinct unless we stop division and love each other
We will all die If we let them Kill us off
They no longer need us to profit off
They can just print more money
Everything's automated no more bodies
They'll jail dissent you'll be a slave
13th amendment slavery never went away
If we all posture and don't admit that we feel l pain regularly
We are all gonna start cracking and one day soon there will be no leftover police
We must move away from the power dynamics inherent to hierarchy
Instead relate to each other in a way that focuses on our well being
They're not zeros they're people Make space don't go there
Jeff bezos dr evil Earth erased can't grow hair
I implore that you act more direct action you can't ask more
Culture war distract you from the class war
You are not onyx practice vulnerability
Just be honest share your intentions and needs
When you're transparent about collective capacity
Problem solving comes with ease
This new fucked system feeds off of our increased isolation
With others on our side we can handle situations
Affinity thrives through forming new connections
Synchronicity through mapping of the future
Celebrate our small victories
Overemphasizing scale leads to burnout
Every day is a struggle for me
Keep your web tight no doubt
We already have the networks in place
White supremacy can be erased
If we talk about societies collapse
We will survive perhaps
But we need to support each other
We are all comrades friends and lovers
When self care is limited to individual responsibility it encourages silence
Will you accumulate trauma or risk something
To confront the forms of power
We've been coerced to depend upon
Create a liminal space where power dynamics are erased preventing preventing forms of abuse
We risk isolation when we allow our differences to obscure the possibilities
We are capable of creating when we operate collectively
Patriarchal power is based on exemption from humanity
It is taking pride in emotional skills that are unsatisfactory
We're asking you to do anything not even do better
Lip service paid without undergoing the task kiley jenner
Become healers through relational work
Cis het male identity is tied in with social capital enforced by implied force
The possibility of losing it frightens most men into complacency
Probably why they want more fictitious capital and came they up w nfts
Betray your gendered personality
Exercise patience and hold the space for others
Silence can be exploited
Silencing is a form of power
Used as an opportunity to interject
Emotions are viewed as unimportant
The goal is for us to reach mutual understanding

Earth is a finite resource
From which all capital is borne
Degradation From exploitation
Financial productivity is converse to sustainability
The world has progressed past the need for Europe
But Europe has not progressed past the need for the world
The land from which joy is derived
Has been starved exploited nutrient deprived
Rare earth metals extracted
Communal society split to factions
Economists tell us its due to cheap labor
But what they won't admit is what they savor
Ironically started as guano for soil replenishment
Now resource extraction is a global system
Six thousand gallons to extract one batteries lithium
African children dying for cobalt
I blame musk it's all his fault
The World Bank and IMF make all decisions
And thus hold all of the power in bargaining
The World Trade Organization, use their power as creditors
To dictate economics in nations that are debtor
They control 97 percent of the world's patents
Poor countries are structurally dependent on foreign investment
Have no choice but to compete with one another
To offer cheap labor and resources in order
To please the barons of international finance
For every dollar in international aid
Fourteen dollars are then drained
For there is no such thing as equal exchange
There is no such thing as fair world trade
Poverty induced under-consumption
leads towards panicked over production
Fund imperialism for new markets to maintain function
Power is asserted diving the world
And strengthening imaginary boundaries
Securing flow of trade and limiting labor mobility
This enables profit extracts without equal labor and goods exchange
And so the world systems collapse with workers left starved and soon deranged
Neo liberalism funding fascists coups
Resource rich countries plundered for their loot
Ending ecological systems as excuse
For poverty and starving youth which they induce
Farmers can not survive and move to urban zones
Manufacturing pollutes proximal to their homes
Weak infrastructure promotes catastrophe
And so they leave to not be casualties
Head for places with jobs ironically
The same places that installed the fascist regimes
Imperialism prevents collectivism
And in turn collapses communities
Creating climate change refugees
New slave labor to sustain the economy
And so the global north goes and rapes the global south
Rip apart families
That can't sustain themselves in face of drought
And so the adults leave their children
With their survival in doubt
And our leaders have the goddamn nerve to tell them to get out
Deep rooted trees release dew through leaves
Trees are felled for crops for animal feed
Positive feedback less water circulated
Desert forms as all water is evaporated
Keep America beautiful invented by coke
Shoving propaganda down American throats
Blaming pollution on the acts of consumers
While producers are the real polluters
Carbon footprint invented by BP
The fossil fueled society from which the benefit financially
Sacrificing future generations preventing sustainability
With promise of possible wealth we accept responsibility
Ultra rich perpetuate pollution from jets and yachts that are fueled with your obedience
Public luxuries will annihilate a system to which we do not consent
We are working for health insurance
But when we're injured there's no assurance
That we will get workman's comp
On our necks the bosses stomp
Exposure to risky situations
Who is getting hazard pay in this nation
Exposure to hazardous chemicals
Exposure limits unscheduled
Afraid to report to NLRB
OSHA violations all around me
Pizza party is all they're giving us
While their neglect is nearly killing us
How am i supposed to take time off
If the chemicals I'm exposed to cause me to cough
And my sick bank is tied into my PTO
And on vacations the only place i want to
I get watched while i punch the clock
I get watched while i punch the clock
I can't, take a day without losing pay
We're short staffed this shit that i endure
In a single shift would make me quit
If there was a way for me to live
The organic certification belongs to the multinational refineries
Which use farmers to subsidize demand globally
Instead of growth that protects our biodiversity
They use factory farm manure laced with with antibiotics fertilizer for the cheap
Indigenous communities who do not hold deeds
See corporations take their land when the titles seized
They clear the forest growing palm oil with no rules
Just to turn it into sustainable bio-fuels
With the forests cleared there's no water table
Rivers flood for the basin is unable
To hold water so the crops then all drown
Ecology collapses its all a desert now
So the people flee to cities in search of greener pastures
Unknowing that the streets
Have been polluted by manufacturers
And so they get sick without insurance
Applied to USCIS no avail
13th amendment slavery continues within the jails
Man has returned to the cave
Now by light he is blinded
Advertising useless goods
Keeps the gears still grinding
In the workers soul
There exists a gaping hole
In search of fresh air
They have induced despair
In the name of prevention
Of unionization
For what they fear is our angered unity
We will keep searching for what we need
Disconnected from reality
Touch grass and breathe
We can barely endure it count days till we're paid
We are working for our health insurance
Waiting until the day we get medicaid
By then it's too late for our work has sealed our fate
Exposure to the carcinogens
Only for the health benefits
They are in the pockets of the lobbyists
They cause it while acting as apologists
If our country isn't run by the credit card corporations
Why is everyone in debt based enslavement
Humans don't need incentive to keep on and working
But our despair is just the source of their endless earnings

Your gun racks filled scantily you be wayne campbell
They're testing our collective sanity divided and scrambled
Setting conflict through culture so we ignore class
Zuckerberg is a vulture society will inevitably collapse
They're keeping us divided to ensure all our silence
Because when we are united the only answer is violence
So I'm getting in my time machine and going back to the eighties
I'll find the man who schemed make his blood trickle till there's
Nothing left to bleed
Dig up the corpse of ronald reagan and hit him with the reagent
Reanimate that shit and then use a shovel break his face in
Life on the line for the line to rise
Stonks are a joke until we're are sent to die
Bout to get physical
With you linkedin liberals
Middle management always up my ass
Cyclically like the market i crash
Capitalism's single handedly responsible for the planet burning
My only goal is to get ronnie in his grave turning
Dig up regans corpse hit him with reagent
Reanimate that shit and then use a shovel break his face in
Herbert west going after ronnie as dr hill
Stab him in the chest with a grid needle so he's slaughter killed
Pull up and kidnap steven crowder
Make him eat his own semen chowder
I will never forgive drake for what he did to rap
Put him in the grave awake for a night terror dirt nap
Charles dexter ward strangle fox and friends with a mic cord
Knife from the throat to the body with the ghost of paul giamatti
John maus at the white house
Put him in the trap wearing nothing but a blouse
Make him kiss ariel pink in the brown stink
Any retrofuturism that isn't negative
Is white supremacist mental sedatives
Charles dexter ward strangle fox and friends with a mic cord
Knife from the throat to the body with the ghost of paul giamatti
Chuck rhoades going after your billions
And you know fred claus giving coal to the villains
Kidnap neil young
Have him stare down my gun
I'm glad ian curtis is dead
Wish it was a bullet in his head
Kanye West made the best album of all time
But he can catch one without a vest from an eight or nine
Treat Kate like George Bush
Send em to Guantanamo bay
Bum rush rush till Neil Peart hurts
Go driller killer on Skrewdriver
Shank sham 69 69 times
When i see The Jam my gun won't
Kidnap Morgan Wallen have him for his mother calling
Put Phil Anselmo in Times Square as Elmo
Take your pizza party and give me my stolen labor back
Have you read Sutter Caine obituary paperback
You Darwin with the competition im Kropotkin on a mission
I'm Sankara with the stratocaster
Fedoras I use gat to blast ya
Grind cop bones to the core I am Pig Destroyer
The only god cop to exist was Chris Dorner
ACAB those pigs deserve rabies 1312 cops are just swine flu
Turn atomwaffen into bluewaffle
Turn the proud boys into a shameful brothel
40 percent of cops beat their wives
There's no such thing as a blue lives
All cops are traitors to class fuck a PBA
Blue lives get the empty bladder I'm Eric Andre
You're making dumb ass reddit comments without a motive for
profit
We aint gon be starving we gon turn you into sausage
I been the hundred millionth victim of capitalism
But i'm bout to use a strap like a strap on make you finna listen
Yellow michael parenti yelling at you from the podium
Alt right teens just seethe tolerant to copium
Make marjorie taylor greene take the vaccine
Bite off the head of rick desantis like a female praying mantis
Cops and klan go hand in hand
They should hang ill bring the rope
What is the systems plan
Except to just snuff out hope
Identity europa bout to replaced
There's nothing great about the white race
Born an anarkid america turned me into a tank
How many dreams died in parking lots of banks
