Concerning Peace

Lyrics for Concerning Peace

Who gets offered the American dream? To O.D. on dope in a fascist regime Sustained by the glory of the dollar menu Rots inside raising no issue I'm tired of the marching And the subsequent martyrs Tired of the marching And subsequent martyrs Reeking of the clock In an endless mind game Enjoying disdain As my conscious aches Compromised modern activism's soul purpose is individual upward mobility And the profit off death Who gets offered the American dream? To O.D. on fent in a fascist regime Who can't afford shit 'Cause the price is fucking gouged Don't even have a house The landlord kicked us out One for the money and two for the show Society of spectacle The theory fucking blows Repulsed by the system That sleeps in wake Enjoying disdain As my conscious aches Violence The only way for me The only language I was ever taught to speak No one Will ever rest in peace Under these regimes Delusions of safety Violence In its complexity Is the only tool Against indignity No one Will ever rest in peace When their value is Less than property Violence The only way for me The only language I was ever taught to speak No one Will ever rest in peace Under these regimes Delusions of safety Violence In its complexity Is the only tool Against indignity No one Will ever rest in peace When their value is Less than property We are not concerned with peace We are not concerned with peace Peace is none of our concern We are not concerned with peace We are not concerned with peace Peace is none of our concern We are not concerned with peace We are not concerned with peace Peace is none of our concern We are not concerned with peace We are not concerned with peace Peace is none of our concern Librial erasure of militant uprising is a tool of corporate interest And a failure of imagination And profits off death Lying and deceitful ploys to pacify the people Unbroken and we're learning A life yet to be yearning Lying and deceitful I don't want to be your equal Your empire is burning, it's not at all concerning Lying and deceitful ploys to pacify the people Unbroken and we're learning A life yet to be yearning Lying and deceitful No, I'll never be your equal Your empire is burning, it's not at all concerning Violence The only way for me The only language I was ever taught to speak No one Will ever rest in peace Under these regimes Delusions of safety Violence In its complexity Is the only tool Against indignity No one Will ever rest in peace When their value is Less than property Violence The only way for me (we are not concerned with peace) The only language (we are not concerned with peace) I was ever taught to speak (peace is none of our concern) No one Will ever rest in peace (we are not concerned with peace) Under these regimes (we are not concerned with peace) Delusions of safety (peace is none of our concern) Chicago (we are not concerned with peace) Cairo Philly Flint (we are not concerned with peace) Athens Juarez Seoul (peace is none of our concern) Oakland Atlanta Tunis (we are not concerned with peace) Denton Paris McAllen (we are not concerned with peace) New Orleans Lagos Bogota (peace is none of our concern) San Cristobal (we are not concerned with peace) Standing Rock (we are not concerned with peace) Ferguson (peace is none of our concern) Minneapolis New York (we are not concerned with peace) DF (we are not concerned with peace) London (peace is none of our concern) Baton Rouge San Francisco (we are not concerned with peace) Guate (we are not concerned with peace) Seattle (peace is none of our concern) Hong Kong Rojava (we are not concerned with peace) Johannesburg (we are not concerned with peace) El Paso (peace is none of our concern) We are not concerned with peace
