Robin This EP fucking rocks. The on again off again sprechgesang vocal style lends these lyrics more urgency as the band behind it lays down the solid, crusty thrash I love. Well mastered too. Favorite track: Land Back.

Incarceration is their definition of reconciliation/ it’s become a problem all across the nation/ a badge is their only form of identification but they use it as an invitation/ to put our rights in violation. Reconciliation = assimilation Reconciliation = assimilation Unjustified verbal, physical, and sexual abuse/ who let these pigs out on the fucking loose/ they treat our lives as a lost cause/ someone with no use/ but our missing people will never concern the cops/ cause their the reason why our population always drops!
2.
You don’t speak with your mouth/ you speak with your eyes/ you speak with the actions of generations before you/ directing with the wind and the rain/ silently fighting the pain/ that you feel everyday/ there’s no need to say anything. We wait as prisoners as they slowly commit genocide/ we can’t fight back since they’ve killed the Indian inside/ the Canadian government took our kids away thinking its for the best/ putting them in schools that deprived them and where the teachers only want to molest.
3.
The homeless plague this city but still the remain unseen/ yes some of them are addicts but few have been 8 years clean/ you’re truly fucking scum not to help out your own kind/ at least fucking acknowledge them don’t pretend that you’re blind. Most people will never know the life they live/ you privileged fucks their not asking for much to give/ we’re begging for change while being completely dehumanized/ how much longer will it take for people to realize? Living on the streets honestly takes a lot/ but imagine being mugged, stabbed, or even shot/ because all the money you had went to dog food and thats all you bought/ because you’d put him before yourself cause he’s all that you’ve got/ you go to sleep at the same dirty spot x2/ but believe me I’d drink my life away knowing everyone else has left me to rot.

Land Back 01:52
Land Back (x12) Land back aims to restore indigenous governance and land stewardship for sustainable future/ to reclaim stewardships of traditional lands and ecosystems/ protecting them for generations to come.

Bench Party 01:36
Everyday I end up sitting on this bench cause I miss my home/ I was only frustrated but they said it was because of my tone/ she grabbed me so tight and almost broke my wrist bone/ they whipped me so hard that the cut had to be sewn. Everyday I end up sitting on this bench thinking about what I’ve done/ they make me so sad I wish my body was hung/ the only way that’ll happen is if I do it on my own/ but i can’t stand the fact of my parents being alone. Everyday it gets harder when placed on this bench/ I saw the janitor digging a grave but they claimed it was a trench/ Why am I on this bench?!/ Why am I always on this bench!/ I’m no longer sitting on this bench because I’m no longer here/ they started building mass graves and chanting that our end is near/ why are my people being subjected to living in fear/ they won’t stop until our skin is white and crystal clear.
