Calm Waters Lyrics

Spray-tanned baby hands

Give them what for

Stirring the pot

It's not like it's melting anymore

Fed the flames, called them names

Now it's boiling over

He'll sic his blue hounds for more exposure

Doesn't matter, they aren't his voters

We'll say, "Just look to the king"

So how long 'til the fire hoses?

Dog teeth digging into their ankle

While up we turn our nose

I'm too pale to own this pain

But I'll be damned if I stand by

While before our eyes

Another of color is brutalized

It happened again

And it rippled through our beds

It made feet hit the ground

Cue the revolution now

Take to the streets

Take to the streets

Who are they shielding?

Take to the streets

Take to the streets

When it's not enough

We equip gas masks to maintain the pressure

While batons swing free, demand we be better

Molotov cocktails served to halt the efforts

Of the drones deployed to stifle this endeavor

Nothing will break the blue wall of silence

And there's nothing we can do when they bring the violence

We are vermin to them, we are vermin to them

And they will crush our throats until the bitter end

And I see their hands

And I see their hands

And I see their hands

And I see their hands

And I see their hands

And I see their thrashing

Under your boots

Our heads

Under your nails

Our skin

And I see their hands

And I see their hands

And I see their blood
