The Ableist, Twenty3 Criss - Sore Subjects Lyrics

You've elected your progressives who promise minor changes
But who fills the private prisons and increases police spending?
Protecting fascists in the streets, tear gassing out poor tenants
Murder people for no reason, claiming uprisings are 'violence'
All these years and still I wonder-
Who you think that they're protecting?
All this time and still I'm asking-
Why the fuck am I still asking?

History shows us what is done to opposition
Taking violent action when supremacy is threatened
Prey on class division, blaming victims of oppression
Exterminating all who advocate resistance

The realization that this systemic situation has caused massed incarceration, a contemporary plantation
But now we're tired, so to this white man nation
It's time we burn this shit down, this land is ours for the taking

Who herded who into slave ships and gas chambers?
How safe you must feel not to risk your comfort at all
Progress serves you but one day this all falls down
Claim what you want cause I know whose side you're on

History shows us what is done to opposition
Taking violent action when supremacy is threatened
Prey on class division, blaming victims of oppression
Exterminating all who advocate resistance

They colonized and took all we had left
I pledge allegiance with my knee on their necks
Probably prosper and take pride my forefathers had broke through those chains
No question I'll do the same
I'd rather be hated and free at the sake of your comfort
I could really give a fuck if you think peace should really come first
Cause it wasn't peace when my ancestors were hanging
So don't ask for peace when my piece gets to banging

All these years and still I wonder-
Who you think that they're protecting?
All this time and still I'm asking-
Why the fuck am I still asking?

Who herded who into slave ships and gas chambers?
How safe you must feel not to risk your comfort at all
Progress serves you but one day this all falls down
Claim what you want cause I know whose side you're on

No longer holding interest in a call to opposition
Constructing social systems, from the ashes of oppression
No more class division at the hands of tyrant fascists
Demand your liberation through the mass emancipation
