lyrics

we have missed our fundraising goals for the last time
but I’m told to hold out hope so I’m doing that
delete the low-performing posts
and stand under the microscope
with the guy stealing bread in an ethics class

I don’t want to be here
and I never asked
to walk down from some so-and-so in the distant past
I don’t want to eat this
I don’t like the taste
but I’m glad to see it stolen if it was gonna go to waste

why not throw a rock
at the security cam
America’s harvest is suffering and death
and mayors that don’t give a damn
and all of its secrets are hidden by sweatshirts
and hedges ten feet in the air
America’s harvest is redlining and disinvestment
and cities that don’t want you there

why should I give an inch of ground
to a neighborhood association?
we know just what that’s about
so in the cop car I’m explaining –

I don’t want to live here
I don’t like your trees
but since our freedom buys all this I thought I oughta see
give me your options
give me your land
give me your stocks. put them all in my hand.

the people you hate are just people in houses
do they look familiar to you?
the people you hate have the same kind of haircuts
that you do

so why not strut your stuff
as you walk by the motion detector?
why not act a little tough?
after all, isn’t that what it’s there for?
