can’t win them all, but some will try
the purchase power of 100,000 thin blue lines
all the mercenaries in society sent to govern us
just protect private property
no control will afford them all corporeal control of our little species
no control will outlive them all
watch them fall - watch them fall to pieces
no where to go that isn’t wired / poverty the spectacle will
keep the working class in line
stacking covert decks, keep face cards as pets, running for office
means increasing their bottom lines
they say they took an oath to protect and serve (self-interest)
activists and land defenders aren’t the right investments
one hand rests on the butts of beloved guns
while the other covers body cams you just spent millions on
as trust erodes, we now ask the questions
abusers base their narratives on speculation
investigate themselves to extinction
disrupt, dismantle, and defund
easy as the alphabet
a swift kick to a hornets’ nest
police state sealed envelopes
evidence locker ballot boxes
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
