lyrics
Verse Valhalla Kid: Telling people I got this One fell swoop with the bottle on me I’m Centimetres from conscious Never reach em or mislead em But I said I’m keeping it honest Head on the hood of a car and he’s searching my pockets This motherfucker’s undercover He knows if I prosecute him then he’s walkin OS Elliott: The drunkard swings his hand, My mother falls but I’ll be damned, Big brother holds your siblings back, They’ll keep you safe, there’s cops on track, When they arrive, he stops his smacks, They take his word, then turn their back, “Don’t waste our time, we’re not for that, Don’t waste our time kid.” Floralis: Mama, Today I tried to raise my voice but was silenced, We’re all here wheezing from the smoke, I fold, I choke, Try to fight back, but I step in the pitfall, Lie defeated, eye to eye I’m greeted, But I don’t believe it ’til we’re liberated, I’m stuck. Valhalla Kid: Train to London we say enough But if we make a fuss then we’re detained in cuffs And so they pass new bills helping mass arrests - Kafkaesque bad defence at bad events We all feel little, hands on you anywhere, Even at a fuckin vigil when you’re sitting down in Bristol Even when the killer was colleague Certain that the pigs are gonna stop me Seen the hurt that it’s caused in the best of friends All I’m really asking is for less of them Pre-Chorus: OS Elliott: Beaten black and blue by the boys in blue Valhalla Kid: Keep them after you, see the matter through Floralis: Bloody, choked and bruised, swollen, send my love to every one of those broken souls OS Elliott: They riot shield individuals, at the vigils, we want to withdraw, they fighting from you, you’re breaking our bones, and choking our souls, it’s just gotta stop Valhalla Kid: Watching the system it slowly declines OS Elliott: Stoppin and frisking the poor till they die Floralis: I’m sifting through issues, I've done everything but the more that they ask, the less they comply Valhalla Kid: Stress all the time while they're wrecking our lives, now the met's on the line to arrest and defy where's the rest of cries that the record aligned, man they're swept in detention and left there to die Chorus - Floralis & All As their arms suppress my pigment, Ignant in decision, the boss holds up his weapon to me They walked across my back as my body broke, I felt the warm embrace of a murdered soul, Verse Floralis: And I can’t fucking believe, Amongst the crowds where we fought the fascists, Impassioned, they damaged our fucking cause in disguise, And they can call it agitation, I say savage and trife, Yeah I’ll never ever worship fucking cops in my life, I’m out of here OS Elliott: They’re so regressive, they don’t even act professional, So I’m aggressive, it’s a protest not a festival They’re so regressive, they don’t even act professional, So I’m aggressive, it’s a protest not a festival Valhalla Kid: I don’t wanna cop all the rage from the cops But I don’t wanna drop when they’re ragin’ a lot Stay in the darkness and Johnson is changing the law Then they place it on us when they’re faking assault The occasion’ll call for the brave and the small Come to crowd together like it’s now or never Like it’s hard to see this shit and shroud the temper There’s a fire needed, I’ve been out of ember Bridge Floralis: I was young, I was small, When I jammed on my guitar, After school in my parents’ shed A cop forced his way into my backyard, Flashed his badge and he stared me down, Oh, I was home alone, OS Elliott: They’re so regressive, they don’t even act professional, So I’m aggressive, it’s a protest not a festival They’re so regressive, they don’t even act professional, So I’m aggressive, it’s a protest not a festival Valhalla Kid: And there’s nothing you can do to win my silence, When your purpose is upholding violence Chorus - Floralis & All As their arms suppress my pigment, Ignant in decision, the boss holds up his weapon to me They walked across my back as my body broke, I felt the warm embrace of a murdered soul,
