lyrics

... Aisle seven
There was a little girl crying
Under 3 years old
That’s where the Oreos used to be
Clean up in every aisle
I always did think Walmart was unnecessarily large
Big enough to store away thousands
Of children
And all the baggage that comes with breaking humanity
All in one store, oh the insanity...
I think I’d ever have to say this
But kids don’t belong in cages
I thought we’d learned from days past
Countless ages of enslavement
Clearly not
because these racists are still baseless
eating at banquets and screaming on stages
Claiming Christ, but clearly faithless
Claiming right but clearly shapeless
Their souls are sold and the devil paid it
This is abuse i can’t settle or stay with
I won’t be meddled or played with
Get a cello to play this
Melody of the heinous
Acts from earth walking Satans
What the fuck is with all this hatred
And why the fuck are you so angry

Are you even looking at the bigger picture
Are you even looking left to consider who’s been walking with you
I’m feelin super amped right now
But we gotta take a chance right now
So we say it and slay it
It’s our time to rise
Pull the wool from off our eyes
We are the Wolf
Surprise

I didn’t think It needed a repeat
but you can put away the streamers
Are you really celebrating
The destruction of dreamers
You’ve rehearsed
The lyrics of Free bird by Skynard
But it’s time you relearn
The meaning of freedom
It’s not in aisle eight of an abandoned place
It’s not a wrapped in plastic blankets
The more rights we have
The more rules for breaking
This is not a storm
It’s an earthquake
If we could be saved in the first place
It would look like taking knees
Because black lives matter
If that thought shattered your bladder
and made you pissed
We’ve got a bigger problem on the lists
That are balled up in our fists
and I’ll fight while this pulse is in my wrist

Are you even looking at the bigger picture
Are you even looking left to consider who’s been walking with you
I’m feelin super amped right now
And you’re feeling you really can’t right now
But we gotta take a chance right now
So we say it and slay it
It’s our time to rise
Pull the wool from off our eyes
We are the Wolf
Surprise
Red cape is our disguise
Open up your eyes

Light it up
Keep the fighting up
All these tiki torches
Means that we be marching
On some of the brightest days
On all those black nights
I guess I didn’t have to think
about black rights
when I laid my head down
i could just fall asleep
because it wasn’t about me
How fucked would that be?
I didn’t think I’d have to say this
We need a woman to save us
Grasping straws for the best plan
Cuz maybe the best man
Ain’t a man at all
Do we stand or fall
For the stripes and the stars
Touching women in the back of cars
The revolution is evolving
in the back of bars
this evolution is taking back our hearts
We are a major part
Play a major role,
we dug the greatest holes
Digging graves for souls
Who aren’t yet 8 years old
praying for the future
The tires unhinged and the axle is looser
