Snake Oil

If you've got cancer, well I've got the cancer, yeah
Only $69.95 if you wanna survive
Don't listen to your doctor, don't watch the news, no
You can only trust me, plus I need the views
Snake oil
Another cure we're selling you
Snake oil
Even if the claims we make are not true
Snake oil
Watch our profits grow high
And we don't even care if you die
My ancient herbal remedy
Developed over centuries
Harvested fully naturally
Comes in non recyclable packaging
It's also wrapped in ideology,
An impending sense of catastrophe
A healthy dose of white supremacy
'Cause that's just good marketing!
Snake oil
Another cure we're selling you
Snake oil
Even if the claims we make are not true
Snake oil
Watch our profits grow high
And we don't even care if you die
Follow me down
Follow me down
Follow me down the rabbit hole
Where you can buy a lucky rabbit's foot
Follow me down the rabbit hole
Where you can buy a lucky rabbit's foot

We could victorious
You know it could be glorious
We could join the chorus of
The winning team
And make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to have
I gotta make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to do
I gotta make money
Then I can buy some shit I never even wanted to wear
But I gotta pay money
So I gotta make money, somehow
We could make 'em so jealous
Make 'em wish they were like us
We could get there if we just bat for
The winning team
And make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to have
I gotta make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to do
I gotta make money
Then I can buy some shit I never even wanted to wear
But I gotta pay money
So I gotta make money, right now
I can barely pay my rent
Can't afford healthcare
But that's ok, I'm just a
Temporarily embarrassed millionaire
I'll strike rich, wait and see
Realize all my dreams
As soon as this ska song
Gets 400 trillion streams
We could victorious
You know it could be glorious
We could join the chorus of
The winning team
And make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to have
I gotta make money
So I can pay for shit I never even wanted to do
I gotta make money
Then I can buy some shit I never even wanted to wear
But I gotta pay money
So I gotta make money, somehow
Money
Money
Money
Money
Money
It's all you need

Blaming the Victim
05:06

She shouldn't have dressed like that
If she didn't want to be attacked
He shouldn't've looked like a thug
If he didn't to feel that cop's slugs
Blaming the victim
Blah blah blah
Maintaining the system
If you're living on the street
And you ain't got enough to eat
Just remember: you chose this
If you'd a tried a little harder, you'd be rich
Blaming the victim
Blah blah blah
Maintaining the system
'Cause blaming the victim
Is just oh so easy
You sell yourself out to Law and Order
You see Original Sin in melanin
They're sending more troops down to the border
To expel unworthy humans
Blaming the victim
Blah blah blah
Maintaining the system
'Cause blaming the victim
Is just oh so easy

Lost At Sea

I promise I'll stop frowning
Just as soon as I stop drowning
Bring it back around and
Do it all again
I feel lost at sea, will I make it?
I can't steer clearly, but I'll fake it
Can you follow me?
Am I making sense at all to you?
I promise I'll stop reelin'
If you give me something to believe in
I'm sorry that you're leavin'
Was it something that I did?
I feel lost at sea, will I make it?
I can't steer clearly, but I'll fake it
Can you follow me?
Am I making sense at all to you?

"White" as a concept was always meant to exclude
Enforced by genocides and conquests
Not just people acting "rude"
It's not about "being offended"
It's about keeping these myths alive
And allowing them the power to conquer and divide
I wish there were some magic words I could say to you
That would help you understand that "race" just ain't true
It's some colonizer bullshit that got way out of control
And now we're still burdened by the weight of its shadow
Fuck white supremacy!
Kill white supremacy!
Fuck white supremacy!
Kill white supremacy!
It's nothing genetic
it's really just a club
Honestly, quite pathetic
To need to hate to feel loved
I wish there were some magic words I could say to you
That would help you understand that "race" just ain't true
It's some colonizer bullshit that got way out of control
And now we're still burdened by the weight of its shadow
Fuck white supremacy!
Kill white supremacy!
Fuck white supremacy!
Kill white supremacy!

We burned down a Starbucks our first date
Then spray painted Love Always Conquers Hate
Made molotovs and threw them at banks
Then went to the ska show all night and skanked
Loving you even easier than hating cops
Anarchist pixie dream girl
You rule my world
I should've known she'd be my fate
When her dating profile read "Smash the state!!!!"
I don't think that I've ever felt this safe
Dodging riot police batons and mace
Loving you even easier than hating cops
Anarchist pixie dream girl
You rule my world
Maybe I should be more afraid
When she's clutching my heart like a hand grenade
But I hope this feeling never fades
Like all the tear gas and pepper spray
Loving you even easier than hating cops
Anarchist pixie dream girl
You rule my world
My ACAB babe
Tattooed right on her leg
