i own one thing / it starts with me
accepted phallus - social status imposes on everything
a pack of barking dogmas in the street
the lines they draw, nonsensical for what is sanctioned medically
make no mistakes about it - forcing us to reproduce inequality
weaponize biology and you will see there’s no saving you
violence begets silence, and the last task is evacuating you
calling me names / you’re such a bore / you scream and cry while others die
say you fight for the unborn / but you cannot hide hypocrisy
wicked men make rules for them different than for you and me
what’s in these walls is not your call / if they close in, it’s not a sin, but a human right –
it’s practical / the toll it takes on our bodies isn’t free / a midway point between the violence
and compelled captivity
I learned about The Rebel Spell from the Propagandhi cover of “I am a Rifle”. That might have been why I checked them out, but I kept listening because of songs like “They Know!” . Joshua Hall
Everything this band did is gold. It's a huge credit to them that this excellent political punk record is only maybe their 4th best. I still love it, but The Rebel Spell have a pretty flawless, top-notch discography. Hayduke X
