about

Composed and arranged by Daniel Cox
Lyrics by Alison Hawkins

lyrics

The band is a brand.
A dissonant vision
Franchised on stolen land.
Original stewards murdered
Heinously removed
Lands of the Osage, Kaw,
Kickapoo, Souix.

White nationalist scum
Mindless, educated only from
The colonizers’ perspective
Pushing westward, misguided virtue:
Give It Back
Wrongful methods, long overdue:
Give It Back
The least we could do:
Give It Back
The least we could do:
Give It Back

Accompany a new melody
Hear the Revolution calling
A privilege to create, to sleep, consume, fully operate.
A privilege to dissent, to rally, inform, counter-instigate.

Pleading, demanding to be an accomplice
Future present past; what will we accomplish?
Mistakes five hundred years later
No better time than now to get our shit together
How dare we ever forget land we’re occupying
Without consent.
