86. Partial Birth by Tilt. 3 others. With lyrics.
Thu Jul 3, 2025, 11:51 PM
Jul 3
&t=1s


Shaken baby sucking on the festive decoration
Turning patriotic colors to a purple stain
Dribbling down his belly
He's the hope of generations
The measure of the damage
We have yet to ascertain

Mammoth head of paraffin
Of malleable nature
Pounded with the platitudes
Admissible for use
Pitiful and blundering
A mortifying creature
His neck to too weak to support
The partial birth of truth

Misbegotten inconsolable
The fitting end result
Of his breed
Misbegotten inconsolable
A product of stupidity
And greed

Watch his as his dim eye
Roll back into his head
See him struggling in
His own filth to stand
Irretrievable and overfed
He reaches out
With his desperate little hands


Propagandhi "Only Good Fascist is a very Dead Fascist"



Swastikas and Klan-robes
Sexists, racists, homophobes
Aryan-Nations and Hammerskins
You can wear my nuts on your Nazi chins

I love a man in uniform!
Just what exactly are the great historical accomplishments of your race that make you proud to be white?
Capitalism?
Slavery?
Genocide?
Sitcoms? This is your fucking white-history, my friend

So why don't we start making a history worth being proud of and start fighting the real fucking enemy?
Swastikas and Klan-robes
Sexists, racists, homophobes
This one's for the master race

My brown-power ass in your white-power face
Kill them all and let a Norse God sort 'em out!


Bad Cop, Bad Cop "Pursuit of Liberty"





[Intro]
Can this be America, the home of the free
When for the first time, I feel like a refugee?
Where we sought asylum, we were welcomed in
These days, it's perceived as a sin

[Verse 1]
Do you remember the fall of Saigon?
The city turned red by the Viet Cong
The choices they had were to flee or believe
That's when my family had no choice but to leave
This is the way of the Vietnamese
Where we became the new refugees

[Chorus]
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By raising the fences, we're lowering the bar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
It seems like we're traveling back to Manzanar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By persecuting people just trying to be free
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
We're stopping them from their pursuit of liberty

[Verse 2]
Since when do passports without the right stamps
Send people back to concentration camps?
No sight of future, no guarantees
Yet they still risked it all to save their families
What kind of world do we live in where this is okay?
Borders are baseless, it's one human race

[Chorus]
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By raising the fences, we're lowering the bar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
It seems like we're traveling back to Manzanar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By persecuting people just trying to be free
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
We're stopping them from their pursuit of liberty


[Bridge]
All of the people still watching their backs
Hiding in fear, covering their tracks
Could this be the start of the Fourth Reich?
This isn't what freedom looks like

[Outro]
By raising the fences, we're lowering the bar
It seems like we're traveling back to Manzanar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By persecuting people just trying to be free
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
We're stopping them from their pursuit of liberty
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
By raising the fences, we're lowering the bar
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
It seems like we're traveling back to Manzanar


Clipping "Chapter 319"



Left, right, left
How long can we holler when it ain't no breath?
You keep killin' fathers without no regrets
Then keep on countin' dollars 'til it ain't none left
So the streets gon' keep on marching like left, right, left
Fuck yo' empty promises, these ain't no threats
Streets is taking all of it; you made yo' bed
Fix it, always problems, we ain't goin' nowhere
Bring it straight up to your door, now who run it, hoe?

A knee to the neck is this week's
Symbol of shit you've been reapin'
As a reaper of people, there's no equal
To the police and they be their own sequel
So consistently as a monster
Paid by a system set up to prosper
On victims of the historic situating as property
People that are melanated, so easily separated, know what?
Fuck the history lesson, you know you know by now
We do not know-how
You keep playing dumb, but still be trusted with guns
You must be defunded
This march is not a one-off
This march is not the misaimed warning shot
This march a foot in yo' fucking throat
To choke out the whole assumption that you are here to protect us
This government doesn't respect us
And somehow they seem to expect us to accept
The power a piece of shit millionaire president wants to project
Fuck are you getting at? Get the fuck back in the bunker
We taking back spaces
'Til you manage to make them safe for black faces
That's up to the fact that America's racist

Donald Trump is a white supremacist, full stop
If you vote for him again, you're a white supremacist, full stop
Call it like it is, and then let the rims spin 'til they full stop
Put one up for Big Floyd, the march is not goin' to stop

It go left, right, left
How long can we holler when it ain't no breath?
You keep killin' fathers without no regrets
Then keep on countin' dollars 'til it ain't none left
So the streets gon' keep on marching like left, right, left
Fuck yo' empty promises, these ain't no threats
Streets is taking all of it; you made yo' bed
Fix it, always problems, we ain't goin' nowhere
Bring it straight up to your door, now who run it, hoe?

You wanna shoot without being shot back
Got news for you, no one's really 'bout that
You got the guns, but we got the shout
To vote the mouthpiece, the clout and the loud pack
(Got guns too)
Ya facts? Yeah, we doubt that
Show us receipts so we will denounce that
Take ya tear gas, inhale like an ounce of that cookie cake
Your bullets all bounce
Even when they break flesh, you are not safe
We are watching every motherfucking move you make
Play it back on cameras so no one can mistake
The order of events that lead to prove another life you take
And if the verdict come back less than murder
Don't be surprised when your streets are burnin'
This anger ain't misplaced
It is turning cop cars to bonfires 'til you learn

If you profit off this system, you should make them dollars fold
In the pockets that don't fund the death of black people, this whole
Fuckin' country 'bout the money, so watch where your money go
Let 'em know that we watching how they roll

Donald Trump is a white supremacist, full stop
If you vote for him again, you're a white supremacist, full stop
America can be better, but we must call it out 'til it full stop
Put one up for Breonna, the marching not going to stop

Left, right, left
How long can we holler when it ain't no breath?
You keep killin' daughters without no regrets
Then keep on countin' dollars 'til it ain't none left
So the streets gon' keep on marching like left, right, left
Fuck yo' empty promises, these ain't no threats
Streets is taking all of it; you made yo' bed
Fix it, always problems, we ain't goin' nowhere
Bring it straight up to your door, now who run it, hoe?
