I DON’T BELIEVE IN A SYSTEM THAT DON’T BELIEVE IN ME

the ride

take yourself to places you didn’t think to go
show yourself to people you didn’t know before
make yourself strong
give yourself stride
bring all your children along
FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE
we stand up for our kindred, the earth and ourselves
we reject all institutions and societies of wealth
we choose to fight back
we choose to take pride
we take all our kindred along
FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE
CHORUS
and we vow to stand up and take space
and we vow to show up and make peace
and we vow to tear up and rearrange
and we vow to love true
and we vow to be strange!
the cynics, the fascists and the corporate politicians
sleepwalk their way through the world that we live in,
we’re sick of this dream
we’re sick of the lies
get out of our way or get on
FOR THE RIDE
FOR THE RIDE
CHORUS
and we vow to stand up and take space
and we vow to show up and make peace
and we vow to tear up and rearrange
and we vow to love true
and we vow to be strange!
the time. Is now. To FUCK SHIT UP!
the time. Is now. To SHAKE THEM UP
the time. Is now. TO WAKE THEM UP!
WAKE THEM UP!
WAKE THEM UP!

exploitation of bodies
this is bloodying of bodies
muddying the waters now red
this is the bloodying of bodies
invisibility of bodies
this is the gap between me and we
no one is noticing the blood shed
this is the gap between me and we
me and we
me and we
the friction and the fire of bodies
bridging the gap between me and we
our super power is the voices of kindred
bridging the gap between me and we
me and we
me and we

Don’t overthink it.
Evil says one life is worth less than another.
Evil says the flow of commerce is our purpose here.
The handmaid of evil says that concentration camps should be more humane.
Beware the centrist.
Don’t overthink it.
You don’t have to burn the motherfucker down but are you going to just stand by?
Are you going to just stand by?
Are you patriots in the back paying attention?
Brown and non-conforming folks afraid to show their faces.
Police, la migra, the proud boys, the bosses and the beckys
Here it is
A planet almost used up
Here it is
A planet almost used up
Here it is
I really shouldn’t have to say any more than this but here it is
I am a man who loves you all and this spinning ball so much
That I am going to fulfill
my childhood promise to myself
to be noble
Are you just going to stand by?
I set aside my broken heart
And I heal the only way I know how
By being useful
So here it is: just be useful
Here it is
Keep it simple
Keep it simple
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING (hold C)
I’m a black and white thinker
But I double-digress
FIGHT ME
I DOUBLE-DIGRESS
FIGHT
ME
Freedom means freedom for all
And a life worth living
Detention camps are an abomination
I’m not standing by
I have three teachers:
Love without action is just a word
What is needed is action
And If I can’t dance if I can’t dance
I don’t wanna be
Em (open)
In your revolution
In your revolution
My thanks to the comrades
My trans comrades who have transformed me
I have dreamed it so clearly
i have no regret at not seeing how it turns out
i regret that i will miss the rest of the revolution
im a head in the clouds kinda dreamer
I believe i believe
in love and redemption
I believe i believe we’re going to win
Are you patriots in the back paying attention?!
Brown and non-conforming folks afraid to show their faces
Police la migra proud boys the bosses and the beckys
Here it is, a planet almost used up
Here it is
Here it is
Here it is
A planet almost used up
I shouldn’t have to say any more than this
Keep the faith, all power to the people bella ciao
I have three teachers
I have three teachers
I have three teachers
Love without action is just a word what is needed is action
And if I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
If I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
If I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
If I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
If I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
If I can’t dance if I can’t dance I don’t wanna be in your revolution
Keep the faith all power to the people
Keep the faith all power to the people
Keep the faith all power to the people
Keep the faith all power to the people
Bella ciao
