lyrics
Asphyxiate
Death rattles shake to inundate your infantile demands
A spectator, active observer with hands and conscience never soiled
Empty handed Empty plates without suffering
without batting an eye
Spilling justifications
Unfettered consumption born on the backs of migrant workers
-- a lesser charge --
Rain down depravity
Choke down brutality
Drown in myoglobin*
- Drown in your own fucking complicity -
Grasp one last breath
*It isn’t blood
(Meanwhile, back at the) American coca field, where every shareholder, every IBP executive’s lining their pockets with the spoils of a sub-minimum-wage labor force
- It’s not a family of 5 at McDonald’s -
It’s a fat cats at Tyson cutting corners at the cost of workers rights
It’s lobbyists for Cargill rallying for lower emissions standards
The only way to kill the body is cut off all of its fucking heads
*It’s not blood
