This is Not A Political Song lyrics
by Dead Pioneers
[Intro]
This is not a political song
These are just words
[Verse]
Demoralizing Muslims
Keeping marriage from someone because they don’t fit your hetero-normative lifestyle
The mutually exclusive statements of Choices and Life
Religious zealots judging you with eyes and ears that told you not to judge on Sunday
Black Lives Matter
Land rights
Equal rights
Marriage rights
Voting rights
Gay rights
Trans rights
Black rights
Latino rights
Indigenous rights
Workers rights
Labor rights
Immigrant rights
No one's illegal on stolen land (No one's illegal on stolen land) (No one's illegal on stolen land)
[Chorus]
And by thе way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything wе believe is wrong
[Verse]
We politicize Black and Brown bodies
Women
Reproduction
Babies in cages
Self identifying humans that are told they aren’t human because they don’t fit
Whatever
From where I sit, there is a clear discussion about these lands
And the only people here are colonizers, immigrants, stolen people and Indigenous people
And there are hostiles on our homelands
[Chorus]
And by the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong
[Verse]
In order to make it, you must be mean and cruel
Compassion doesn’t make it in this world
Dismissiveness
Divisiveness
Red MAGA hats in a sea of red that just want to believe what they want to believe
And they believe they want to punch you in your stupid face
How dare you want anything from a country you owe everything to!
How dare you have an opinion that counters anyone else!
Democracy is what I think it should be, and not what it is, right?
'Cuz fascism is fun
And hate crimes are fashionable
He who has the money is the most pious
The made-up doctrine of prosperity
If you have a lot of money, then you are favored by God
Especially if you’re in the so-called United States of America
[Chorus]
And by the way, it's not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong
[Verse]
And as we clamor to survive in our respective streets
It becomes easy to hate one another
Because they're in your way, or you don't like their disposition
That even those that want to burn everything down must have hope, right?
An anarchist love affair
Right wing assault rifle infidelity
Death and taxes
Gadsden flags that used to stand for constitutionalism and limited government
And now it stands for supporting the abuse of constitutional rights and limitations of government under fascist militias
And now it’s just stupid
And exhausting
Tiki torch whites are asking you to pick a side
Because everything is black and white
And grey areas be damned
Heaven forbid we share space
And resources and ideas
That would be communistic in nature
And I hear that that's against nature
But three cheers for the train wreck that is late stage capitalism
It’s ok if everything dies, just as long as it dies under my boot
[Chorus]
And by the way, this is not a political song
It’s possible that everything we believe is wrong
[Verse]
We are in the land of spirit eaters
You remember when John Trudell said that?
Protect your spirit because we’re in the space where spirits get eaten
