Songs for Lovers and Tear Gas

I've never met an animal I've never had a friend And I've never looked inside the wall But now I'll come again What are you? Are you a ghost? No, you're clearly alive… You've got hands, you've got feet And you've been talkin talkin talkin What are you? Are you a rat? No, you clearly understand Holy shit, what the fuck are you? I'm in a bit of trouble Cause i think everyone knows Now we're getting tons of visitors That keep turning to stone Where are you? Are you dead? Said the city's got his head But i guess things aren't the same Cause we've gotta move ahead Now my wall's just calm... And I'll stay up in my bed And pretend that after all you've faked your death

Apathy Song 01:17
I haven't left the bed in weeks And my sheets, they probably reek And I'm scared my roommates will find out And i'm scared that they might kick me out I haven't brushed my teeth in weeks I keep hurting my feet I keep ruining my body I'm ruining my only body

Blue lives don’t matter Because they don’t exist. It’s a job, it’s a choice To protect the fascists You weren’t born a cop, You chose to be a pawn You chose to enforce corrupt laws Blue lives don’t matter Because it’s a career You studied really hard Went to school for a whole year You graduated top of your class Now you’re a certified jackass Stop pretending like you’re oppressed When you spray us on the streets And treat us like we’re possessed, now Stop pretending like you’re oppressed When you come to work in your sunday’s best Blue lives don’t matter All cops are bastards You’re kindness won’t matter You still follow the orders Blue lives don’t matter All cops are bastards You don’t really care about what’s right. Stop pretending like you’re oppressed When you spray us on the streets And treat us like we’re possessed, now Stop pretending like you’re oppressed When you come to work in your sunday’s best No justice no peace!

Drink Up 01:29
Drink Up (Break) Drink Up (Break) Drink Up (Break) Hold your Breath. Drink Up (Break) Drink Up (Break) Drink Up (Break) Hold your Breath. I don't think that I can feel anything after this touch... Is there anything? Is there anything there?

Hyena 1 03:06
I'm leaving now. It's stuck inside, can't let it out… I want to feel what I've given you. To give it back and hold it close without letting go... But I have to now, and I'm sorry. I'm letting go.

Hyena 2 05:19
I'm leaving now. It's stuck inside, can't let it out… I want to feel what I've given you. To give it back and hold it close without letting go... But I have to now, and I'm sorry. I'm letting go.

You serious? You're living in a loop. Break out or else things will get worse. Things can and will get worse.

How could you call that a life? Tryna strip away our rights? Taking down the journalists Voicing white supremacists Proud boys marching through the streets Armed with guns and the police Where’s the line you said we crossed That you haven’t stepped passed yourself? You don’t know me You don’t know me Call yourself a patriot You stupid fucking piece of shit Tell me how to fuckin fight Which protest is fuckin right? Keep on sucking donald’s dick Keep on shitting on the sick It’s clear you’re gonna kill yourself You’re movement can’t support itself You are nothing You are nothing Stupid fascist.

The second hardest thing in the morning Is getting outta bed And i wish that i could get with someone Outside of my head And you know i have no will So what the hell is stopping me Cause now all that i wanna do Is Fuck a mother fucking cop Revolt! There will be no more limousines Revolt! There'll be no more strawberries and cream They said to fuck the cops so i did Now I don't know which is more confused… Is it my politics or my dick? Nothing screams ACAB like stickin My dick to the man So together chant "No Justice" Dick to dick! Hand in hand! Revolt! There will be no more limousines Revolt! There'll be no more strawberries and cream

Violent resistance, damaging their property Never submissive, no respect for authority In the middle of the night, black flags high We crossed barbed wire and met on the other side The horror we saw inside, only our compassion guided us Prisoners no more we said, and smashed in their cages And if they come after us, this is what I’ll say Over my dead body, I’d rather die today But first I’ll tell you I love you and say farewell to my friends When I fell dead on the floor, I fell on my own demands This was the night, The night I met my fate But I stood my head up high, Executed by the state For every warrior down, A million born in its place For every warrior down, A million born in its place And if they come after us, this is what I’ll say Over my dead body, I’d rather die today But first I’ll tell you I love you and say farewell to my friends When I fell dead on the floor, I fell on my own demands
