Somber Days

about

America seems to be on the wrong side of very many red flags these days.

lyrics

feds just tear-gassed Portland's mayor
whose laws are they enforcing there?
who says 45 can't nix the vote?
what judge got a gavel that'll fix the skull

fractures of the 4th estate's orbital sockets?
of course we wanna take the high road but when war's on the docket
if we don't burn the bunkers of the occupying forces
there'll be soldiers in your living rooms, pouring your coffee

into cups and the faces of alleged thought criminals
unrestrained fascists ain't gotta use subliminal
tricks, they got firearms, explosives, all the physical
arsenal required to retire any critical

resistance, give in? get maced batoned and tased
somber days finna spawn and claim
another hundred thousand souls, gone and slain
ain't a maid that can cleanse such an awful stain

and the mess still builds, deaths and kills
finesse is nil, accept and deal
or be next, they'll steal all your precious meals
and they'll take every weapon, especially quills

this song never ends, this is your life now
shoulda thrown molotovs into the ***** *****
regret that we let all this coup unfold
now it's hard to admit that we "used to" vote

truth is choked by troops with the guns that bang
brownshirts at your door like, "run them things"
they will chop you down just to count your rings
just to count your rings, just to count your rings.

Khemmeta San Francisco, California

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
