About the Artist
Lyrics
[Sample] So the concept is this, basically. We're going to walk on this nation. We're going to walk on this racist power structure and we're going to say to the whole damn government stick 'em up, motherfucker this is a hold up. We come for what's ours [Verse 1] Obedience to the law is free desire Under curfew from sharp neon barbed wire Wasting away this country, wearing like a born dead Free heroin shots for those who will no longer beg [Chorus] Spectators of suicide Exploding in society's eye Spitting glass from our mouths Dying like yesterday [Verse 2] The only free choice is the refusal to pay Life reduced to suicide or comfort pain Cigarette death, lips suck red Choked on the same lines that we've all said [Chorus] Spectators of suicide Exploding in society's eye Spitting glass from our mouths Dying like yesterday [Outro] You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we said You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we said You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we said You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we said
