lyrics

So the day has come again
It's the last Thursday of November
A bunch of white folks come together
As they try not to remember
How many people lost their lives
To benefit their predecessor
And how stuffing food into their mouths
Takes the blatant side of the oppressor
Gluttonous and apathetic,
You say you can’t control all that has happened
But it’s not the past, it is the present
and I see you still aren’t taking action
It’s too easy for you to sit and shove
Mashed potatoes in your face
While you watch football and try to forget
As you hold hands and say your grace
That millions were slaughtered to give you the privilege
that you have now
And ignorance, no it ain’t bliss
and your contentment just allows
These sadistic monsters up in the white house
to carry out their master plan
To protect the rich elite,
and go invade more sovereign land

With rubber bullets, water cannons,
Pepper spray assaults the unarmed
They’re spilling blood to save a dollar
And the majority isn’t alarmed
I can’t help but think the masses
Strive to bolster ignorance
But you know that really is no secret
They elected trump and pence
So I hope you choke on a turkey leg
"Cause there’s people choking on their own blood
White supremacy and capital
We need to nip it in the bud
Fight these fascist pigs and watch their tears fall
And mix in with the mud
Cause I don’t want to reform the state
Not giving no cop no fuckin' hug
Please hold your breath if you think a victim
Owes anything to their assailant
Are you actually that hateful?
Or is your mind just lying vacant?
I won’t sit back and pretend that I have all the answers
But our nation is a tumor and capitalists
They are the cancer

So stand up, be loud as you can
It’s your one and only choice
Fight the system, smash oppression
And scream for justice, use your voice
