lyrics

false notions of unity
someone’s utopia is always another’s suffering
You wanted a primary contradiction
tried to force us into your narrow political vision
your reactionary lateral violence
our ancestors are the critics you wish to silence

take a side
left or right
fuck your contradiction
we want total abolition

this is unsettling
no way around it, it has to be
step back, can’t talk about land back without understanding
what that really fucking means…

take a side
left or right
fuck your contradiction
we want liberation

no spiritual surrender
no spiritual defeat

academic armchair nation building statists
you’re not our saviors, we’re not your proletariats
we reject the imposition of your assumed authority
stop trying to revive dead words from someone else’s dead hxstory

take a side
left or right
fuck your contradiction
we want liberation

we will not live in a cage of bloated manifestos
our autonomy is collective defense against the colonial

fuck your contradiction.
fuck your contradiction.
we want nothing less than total liberation.
