One Solution.

 The angry are  tweeting
women on Twitter threatened with rape and beating
representative democracy as self defeating
'progress' is fast retreating.


The western media sells us
binary choices
denies the alternatives
of marginalized voices
Tells us US imperialism or Assad
are the either/or option
offers us up loyalty to the
establishment
state supportive co-option
we deny it and refuse their adoption.
We wish to carry and extend
the grassroots struggle
even while the tv and newspapers confuse all sides
lumping distinctions into a messy muddle


Black people used as props
while troy davis' shot dead by the cops
Zimmerman walks free
Obama bombs brown babies
and they say "this is the post-racial society"

 

Technology and consumerism got us drugged
NSA got us bugged
zombies eating our own
brains glued to our phone
status
substantial
 stylishly
enslaved to all you own
solving the world's problems with each facebook like
but asking "what the fuck is, a drone strike"
Claim real action is
hippie radical reaction
by militant faction
how civilized are we
when everything is up for grabs
and water, bottled, is a commoditee
not as natural intended,
open and free.


Troops go AWOL,turn your guns
on the bastards
drinking up champagne on war funds
making money on bombs and each amputee
of course they'll feed the lie
you're dying
For Queen and Country.

yeah maybe it's true, I'm an escapist
 patriarchy's fucked, failed to make me a rapist.
 An Anti-capitalist society, that'd be safest.

 This game is a fix, the dice is rigged
  They’ve got one hand on your wallet another on the trigger
They might change the bars but the cage never gets bigger.




The ruling class would gladly
have us workers believe our pleasure is our shame
I refuse to buy into that game
they're the hypocrites who ask we keep up
consumption and carry on the same.


whoever you vote for the system wins
success sold as buying more things
like a serf, made to accept your position,
you stick your head in the sand
hands in the air,
in submission.


Wave your placard
have your march
they have you pacified.
go home,forget,work done
that does not threaten the ways the systems run.
True gains are disruptive.
That's how victories are won.

People look to the ballot box for solutions
 but what can it offer us,
 but more capitalist tainted institutions.
 Caught between wage slavery or the dole,
 the economy pays no mind to the prole.

As if it even matters who you vote for
It won’t stop the oppression
It won’t end the war.
Obama, SWP or any alternative you can name
is irrelevant while Capital is the true force to reign
the system will remain
Remember in power, they are not your friend
While there's the twin terrors of State and Capitalist,
you'll always be on the sharp end.


money makes mouths move
money makes mouths mute
money is the cancer at society's root
and I ain't buying the shit your sellin'
stop hacking at the branches,this tree needs fellin'


Maggie got one thing right,
we can walk into the wilderness
or try to make things right.
There is no alternative
barbarism or a better world.
Make no mistake
there truly is

One - solution,

REVO-LUTION!!
