Lyrics
Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends Like scoundrels and their flags, take final refuge In character assassination Ignore the issue and deny the relation Between consumption and brutality And you can roll your eyes and marginalize me And play on insecurities and you can feign ignorance But you're not stupid, you're just selfish And you're a slave to impulse And I kinda thought we all shared common threads In that we gravitated here to challenge conventions we've been fed By cultures that treat creatures like machines And if you buy that shit, then how long till it's me Who serves as your commodity Through institutionalized violence and oppression Of workers and women raped by sexism? And do you still insist On feigning indignance to reason, collective self-interest? I'll call you on your shit, please call me on mine Yeah, then we can grow together and make this shit-hole planet better in time Consider someone else
