you - an empty vessel left devoid of meaning
accelerate these existential feelings
keep it warm and numb / keep it safe and dumb
i’ll stay high forever
tell me that it’s nothing i can walk away from
tell me that it’s something you won’t entertain
it won’t be easy, taking this all the way but
tell me now, what’s the point of living in this state of shame
now the tide is just rising faster
every season brings natural disasters
flood and scorch the ground / break the levees down
my hand is on the lever
all we own is nothing but the means of our exclusion
mass-producing ultra profits as we tap in double time
young interns that self-indenture, flagellated and refined
clear cut through thickets of ethical sluff / unclick my jaw and glue
both my eyes shut / rather be kept in the dark left to rust.
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
