lyrics
Back, back away, back from all their assets, plunderer.
Refrain, vacate this seat you hold.
A fallacy, you recreate all the worst we all have seen.
Magistrate for fear and hate, misogynistic xenophobe.
Brainwashed those without a role or a concern for apropos.
Piss away all they’ve made as history will recreate…
Many mistakes and we’ll distress, digress
All the things we hear and say.
Pray this shitfit ends quite quickly.
Before we all own our own sin.
Pre-existing method and intention to the destitute and all downtrodden.
Enslave them, betray them, then waste em before they knew what hit em.
Have a, have another small pleasure while we’re left wondering how…
We’ve gone and lost our only regrets, progress.
Copacetic gilded wreckage. Faceless Violence.
Left oppressed, the undisclosed.
Without our own ‘Us and Them.’
Call it a cover-up or call it self-sabotage.
All in all its masterful collusion.
See them all laughing at us? Hear them talk down to you?
As enemies take aim, concentrate.
Was it all worth your callousness?
Leave your mark, abandon us, flee.
Gunshy, why?
Pre-existing method and intention.
Lets hit em when they’ll least expect it.
