lyrics

They can play their fiddle but won’t take our right to protest,
They can drool and dribble like a baby taking no steps,
I don’t seek acquittals, I found freedom in my process,
Rarely keep it civil but I guess I’d call it progress,
I meet in the middle but not if they’re gonna ghost, next,
I don’t need your pittance for a pound of what you’ve owed us,
You can talk the talk but you can’t talk it with your whole chest,
I’ll dispel the riddle, tell an incel there’s still no sex,
I read all the signs that you devised a life to suit best,
Anything that wipes away the lives you could abuse less,
You can call it blaspheme but on God, I swear I know best,
Hack me like your acne, it’s a travesty your soul left,

You disappeared un-endeared and appeared sincere ‘til you’re cleared,
then it’s onomatopoeia, crash bang
when I’m neared like you feared,
I’m a battle-axe, cataract savager,
hacking up an avalanche to curbs with the calibre,
Slap them with a bag of rags, I’m not having that,
Grabbing that puss won’t make you a badder man,
Rack it up, full attack, cueing that damager,
You’re not cracking her.

You overcompensate, you’re not walking in my likeness,
The time of day is not the month in which you prize this,
I’m gonna lead the way, a way with no disguises,
So you can try to slay but there’s no crossing eyelids,
I do not need to wait, I race with perfect timing,
You’re only on your way until I burn your hydrants,
Nee nor nee nor nay, stallion I’m priming,
The dog has had its day, a bitch came in with stridence,
I’ll ricochet with grace ‘cause I’m the one you’re fighting,
Stop wiling in my face when you know I’m beguiling,
I do not have the patience, not today, I’m striving,
So you should run away before I turn this righteous,

So put it down to the zeitgeist mind,
That decided to halt, reclined,
Pour drinks while you organise,
My wind chill’s an organ chime,
You stem from abhorrent minds,
I’m the storm with the force inside,
Quick brawls are the force of MINE,
Stand tall in the doors I slide,

They can play their fiddle but won’t take our right to protest,
They can drool and dribble like a baby taking no steps,
I don’t seek acquittals, I found freedom in my process,
Rarely keep it civil so I guess I’ll call this progress.
