My eyes roll uncontrollably my brain shuts down I just stop listening I am generally a giver of fucks But what I takeaway from your mission statement is A lot of brand awareness No actual solving of problems No actual work Pat me on the back Put me to sleep Another Day Done Exploit them all Intentions fall away, all that's left are lies Now we’re selling Hot Air Balloons Filled with just words Filled with your words Corrupting the reputations of Many philanthropic groups good intentions Consumer of donations Producer of cynics Aggregator of superPAC contributions Giver of fucks Sitting Waiting Doing Nothing

protest kids 01:41
Crayola cardboard rally cries are just propaganda A child is not a tool to help advance your agenda. Failure to recognize manipulation. Viewpoints gained, through years of, matured context Written on an infant sized t-shirt Before you, reconcile, accusations a child could never understand

untitled 04:22
I was blue at birth / But we're all pink inside Now I'm older / I'm bleeding in a way That betrays the body / That I've built I've built / It's mine (20 years) To convince myself I'm beautiful (20 years) For you to see me as he (Add 10 years) And now she is bleeding (My demise) Was born between my legs Like new clothes, unsettled on these new hips, Shedding skin, from ridged to serpentine. Violent posturing is a vale of perplexity But don't blame me, don't blame me As blood pours down / This is how you made me feel Reduced to one body / Part under a paper gown This burning betrayal / Reminiscent of puberty When this body / First tried to kill me (Wear the badge) And smile at constituency (But your god) Stopped you from saving me (Now I bleed) In a way I've never wanted (When I die) Who tells my story? Mother / Help / Me / Your / Son / Is / Dying You / Grieve / A / Daughter / You / Never / Had

Home is so far away It's a days journey by rail And you can't fucking leave You've become an inefficiency They put up nets to catch the bodies that will fall Alone here in a sprawling foxconn factory complex. We will read the stories of their deaths On the same devices Assembled by exhausted hands And lives that are broken The supply chain is broken We are terrified by the thought Of where our things come from And the price we must pay Doesn't include the true costs of the workers And environment bear the burden of cheap consumer electronics In a regulatory race to the bottom They put up nets to catch the bodies that will fall Until basic wages and working conditions are met Instead they put up nets Climbing to the top floor Of the barracks in a sprawling foxconn factory complex We will read the stories of their deaths on the same devices Assembled by exhausted hands. We are terrified by the thought Of where our things come from And the price we all must pay

projecting 04:18
Its hard to see the problem when it involves all of you It is hard to solve a problem when it involves everyone Grown men filled with light beer and regret, Raise their glasses to the sky, to their alma mater. Grown men losing sleep over a bad recruiting class And making personal threats to student athletes Projecting on to them All of our failures
