Authors Of Our Own Demise

by Violent Arrest

/
1.
Society made me what I am A white suburban punk I used to be an idealist But now I’m mostly drunk White suburban punk White suburban drunk Self-fulfilling prophecy I was born to lose Don’t need life experience Just records, booze, tattoos
2.
Greece the fucking wheels There’s España in the works They’re writing rubber Czechs For fences for the Turks There’s refugees on fucking Poles As Berlin flexes muscle Neoliberal double Dutch All the way from Brussels Fortress Europa London wants the boats To sink Where’er they roam ‘Tween hell and high water And the treaty of fucking Rome Bureaucrats hide the stench Of terror targets missed Apologise to the French But deposit to the Swiss Fortress Europa
3.
Some kind of instinct Memory of what they did This was important A place in their lives We've gotta stay Outta the big cities The brains are dead The idiots are still alive When there’s no more room in hell The dead will walk the earth Half-a-dozen guys Got bitten by those things None of them lasted More than three days Nuclear resources Drop bombs on the cities Help us deal with These illogical ways
4.
Swear the oath, to limitless growth Glaring emission, corrupt politician Critical mass, colony collapse Mass migration, exploitation Authors of our own demise Our demise, our demise Universe twenty five Missing link, behavioural sink Smash the hive, we won’t survive Malthusian dread, bring out your dead Flaw in utopia, species myopia
5.
Democracide 01:26
Commodified Trust in rust in offices all ossified Bailing out a hole against a rising tide Woe betide they defy vox populi Vote for the same thing again and again Democracide, state of decay, we lost our way
6.
We sat in stunned silence as they read the result As the corrupt billionaire personality cult Saw the desired effect of propaganda control Now ‘hard working families’ can’t be consoled Five more years of this fucking shit Five more years can’t deal with it The right seeks converts, the left seeks traitors Too busy squabbling to stop dictators Selling them shit by selling them papers Educate another generation of waiters Five more years legalising theft Five more years won’t be nothing left
