Out of all my social-injustice, class warfare-based songs this one is amongst the most antagonistic. Like, Massively Hysterical antagonistic. Am I prescribing violence as the only answer?
No, just one of them.
Violence isn't the answer. It's just one possible answer out of several.
If nothing else works, there's at least that~!
The chorus is a direct homage to one of them-thar graffiti tags. It had a combine-type riot-armored trooper taking aim at a business-suited gent, very Michael Douglas from Falling Down-ish, with a kerchief-mask wrapped around the lower half of his face and about to throw a molotov. At least I think that's what it was...all I know is that the tag it used, "Those who lay their hands upon me I declare thee tyrants and usurpers" or something like that.
Either way, it inspired this piece. Maybe it's good? Maybe it's bad?
Meh, to me it just is.

Discovery
Inside of me
But I try to find
within my own mind
Rea-sons
Excavating
Moderation is
Was-ted on this
Treasures that
I ought to know
kept away from me
Blin-ded without
Rea-son
Tyrants reign today
Awaiting
The new rule to come
They who lay hands on me
try to govern me
I declare thee
Tyrants and usurpers
AND I WILL SEEK
TO DESTROY YOU
ALL
UN-TIL
I STAND
FREE
AGAIN!!!!

Witness!
Bear witness!
Witness!
Bear witness!
Responsibility
Set aside at a whim
Can you receive me?
Are you listening?
This is truth here:
don't believe their lies!
You're perfectly fine the
way you've always been.
Captivating
audience members
worldwide
They'll tell you how to be
normal perceptions
ethics gone astray
The hand of man
May yet rise up again!
They who lay hands on me
try to govern me
I declare thee
Tyrants and usurpers
AND I WILL SEEK
TO DESTROY YOU
ALL
UN-TIL
I STAND
FREE
AGAIN!!!!!

DeleteYeah, it's a double entendre. Lots of people catch that first, and it's always funny. :D PLUS it just sticks in yer brain, doesn't it?
there's some great sentiment in there...cool stuff
ReplyDeleteThanks G.
DeleteSometimes you just HAVE to fight back. The people HAVE to remind the business executives and the politicians that THEY need US, not vice versa.
Sometimes the only way to go about doing this is through violence, one of the few methods that bridges social levels, fiscal levels, just...universal, y'know?
As a method of communication its' brutal, abhorrent to the high-browed soft-handed jackasses who've never had to defend ANYTHING before...but effective.
And sometimes, it's the ONLY way left. We can just hope that for our current global situation, there are more options still.
