FIGHT BACK! 02:35
Fuck! Hey! Hey! Had the right to safe abortion back in 73 Until 49 years later, overturned in DC Now we’re marching in the streets, begging for our basic rights Bleeding out in parking lots, so many reasons to fight Hey! x3 You’re pro life until it’s born, then your care goes out the door You look down on struggling mothers and blame them for being poor Some aren’t ready, some aren't safe, some are victims of abuse Judged by people who don’t get it, who have nothing here to lose Hey! x3 You don’t own me x3 Don’t control me You don’t own me x3 Don’t control me I will not be government property and I will not sit back and take this silently Fight back, dammit! MY BODY MY CHOICE x4 Doesn’t matter, any reason, it’s a personal decision Keep the government out of it, between me and my physician Keep your laws off my body and opinions to yourself You do not get to decide what is right for my health Hey! x3 You don’t own me x3 Don’t control me Keep your rosaries off my ovaries, and RIP to RBG She said fight back, dammit! MY BODY MY CHOICE x8 My body my motherfucking choice!

Only when we accept what is going on around us, to us, the people we love and do not know, can there be change. Fuck the government, fuck the state Human rights are not up for debate Fight back and fucking rage! Loosing our rights in the land of the free They’ll never erase us, been here for centuries Protect trans kids, protect drag queens Protect access to HRT Trying to eradicate me and my friends Don’t know which of our rights is next to be banned They hate the people they don’t understand They’ll have to pry our rights out of our cold dead hands BE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE AND LOVE WHO THE FUCK YOU WANT x4 We will say gay, won’t go back in the closet Silence is violence, we will not be compliant The first pride was a riot If you ban our flags, then we’ll burn yours Our love is pure and proud and should exist beyond closed doors Not hiding as roommates, but living as lovers We will not let hate win or watch history reverse Tired of a world where my friends live in fear We must embrace who we are, I’m fuckin proud to be queer BE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE AND LOVE WHO THE FUCK YOU WANT x4 We stand in solidarity, celebrate every member of our community The world is dull without diversity you deserve love you deserve to be free Unapologetically and authentically Loud and proud, repeat after me: I deserve love I deserve to be free x12 BE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE AND LOVE WHO THE FUCK YOU WANT x4 And Donald Trump can suck my fucking dick.

GOLDEN PAGER 03:03
History repeats itself, this is not your land to conquer Destroy their homes, kick them out, wannabe colonizer Sending out orders to your soldiers and your majors Did you really think that we didn’t see that golden pager? Stop the genocide We hear the children cry Free Palestine Free free Palestine FREE PALESTINE x2 (FREE!) FREE PALESTINE x3 FREE FREE PALESTINE Bombs above hunger below, war crime after war crime Taking political prisoners, news suppressing air time Pushing propaganda, trying to dehumanize Saw your shiny gift from your “greatest friend and greatest ally” Stop the genocide We hear the children cry Free Palestine Free free Palestine FREE PALESTINE x2 (FREE!) FREE PALESTINE x3 FREE FREE PALESTINE From the river to the sea No one is free til we’re all free x6 Stop the genocide x2 Free free Palestine Stop the genocide x2 Free Palestine, free free Palestine All those bodies, they have names They’re not pawns in your game You’ve flattened schools, you’ve flattened mosques Stop the bloodshed, stop the bombs Free Palestine, Free free Palestine!

INSOMNIA 03:49
Mass deportations, shackles and chains Kids in cages, it’s inhumane You ask why should you care, it’s not happening to you? So let me put you in someone else’s shoes You travel miles away from home, giving up all that you’ve ever known Everyone speaking a language that you don’t know But you will learn, because your family is counting on the money that you earn Work the jobs breaking your back for a low low wage But you roll up your sleeves and you get to work, for a country that treats you less than dirt And they’ll call you a drug dealer, they’ll call you a thief Get angry when you know a language they don’t speak Afraid to step outside, feeling forced to hide La migra thinks that racism is justified Even if you do everything right and you follow the law Your skin tone alone is known as probable cause Imagine being torn away from your family or being forced to go to a country that you’ve never seen You used to be a dreamer but they squashed your dream Because in the land of the free, listen- Although the cage is made of gold, It is still a prison Building walls, sealing borders The American dream has become a sleep disorder Abolish ICE, close the camps The ones who should be leaving: Trump, Musk and Vance (And you know what? Fuck RFK Jr., fuck Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Greg Abbott, Todd Lyons and the whole damn cabinet, you’re ruining our country, get the fuck out!) Building walls, sealing borders The American dream has become a sleep disorder Mass deportation, shackles and chains Kids in cages no no no no! No more ice, no more camps Who should leave? Trump, Musk, and Vance x2 No more walls, no more borders American dream, sleep disorder x2 Sleep disorder

It’s hard to watch the news daily, it makes my heart break Oh how I wish it would just stop Politicians watch us struggle like it’s reality tv Prime time entertainment as we bleed out on the screen But you can eat the rich if you don’t like the price of eggs And you can mind your business about what’s between my legs Nobody is safe next target is the sick and poor So pull yourself up by your boots straps, in the boots you can’t afford They’ll take and take til there’s nothing left SOS! One nation under threat THEY WANT US TO ATTACK EACHOTHER SO WE DON’T LOOK UP THEY GET RICHER, WE GET POORER IT GETS HOTTER, WE’RE ON FIRE THEY WON’T PUT US OUT x2 No human is illegal, your neighbor’s not your enemy Your status doesn’t define if you’re a human being People concentrated in camps, have you seen what it looks like? The real crisis at the border is the loss of human life Don’t buy into the lies, immigrants make this country great Who are you to say who gets to stay, this land was stolen anyway North south east and west Columbus called it discovery, I call it theft THEY WANT US TO ATTACK EACHOTHER SO WE DON’T LOOK UP THEY GET RICHER, WE GET POORER IT GETS HOTTER, WE’RE ON FIRE THEY WON’T PUT US OUT THEY WANT US TO FEEL SO HOPELESS THAT WE WON’T FIGHT BACK USE YOUR ANGER, STAND TOGETHER/ FEEL THE FIRE, IT GETS BRIGHTER THEY WON’T PUT US OUT No! I refuse to retreat as the world collapses Everything has turned on its axis Why was I put here, what is my purpose? Will the fire inside finally burn this down We’ll find out in a century I’m tired of living through history It’s hard to watch the news daily, it makes my heart break Oh how I wish it would just stop.
