lyrics

Sit quiet on your hands
and take the beating.
Pray for a better day.

Who's really the
"Morally Superior"
one:
The CEO?
The "entrepreneur"?
The banker?
The politician?
Or:
The person who's tired of
picking through our
garbage to survive?
The person who's tired of
going hungry so
we can die of overeating?
The person whose labor, livelihood, life,
is robbed, each and every day,
and decides to fight back?

Who are we to tell them violence is wrong?
Who the hell are we to tell them violence is wrong?

Besides:
Who cares if you're the
"Morally Superior"
one, if you you're
beaten
in the process?

Who cares if you're the
"Morally Superior"
one, if you you're
murdered
in the process?

The real
"Morally Superior"
one is the one who doesn't do
the beating in the first place.

Fuck high horses.
It's important that we see
what's on the ground.

Fuck high horses.
It's important that we see
clearly
what's on the ground.

Pacifism can be
(but, significantly, is not necessarily)
a tool of control,
to maintain the
status quo.
