asomniatic - minnesota blues: a riot lyrics

[intro]
minneapolis today, with it’s charred remnants of last night’s
rioting, the fury evident at every corner. overnight, demonstrators
have rampaged. the violence, the anger, and the flames, at times
well out of control, continued until dawn+

[intro remixed]
police officers handcuffed demonstrators seeking answers and
justice at every corner. as the frustration continued, the officers
involved have all been violent, excruciating violence
the anger+ flames+ the anger, flames+

[verse 1]
minnesota nice was a myth
we stock bombs, got arms along with the rest
shelter p+wn k!ller cops who’ll ponder arrest
sentences lesser when under duress
that lunatic in blue, gets a crush and then he says
“this ticket’s for you, miss, for that ‘fine’+ass dress
won’t ask for your phone cuz i’ll find your address
i’ll look it up, so hook me up, if only as a friend,” look
troll soldier’s toll, parkin’ bold on the sidewalk
argument is old, it rolls with seein’ eye dogs
armor cars cl!ckin’ jaws tonight near the skywalk
law shippin’ bars like the lockup was a dry dock
by god, this entire town’s on fire
housekeepers freakin’ out ’bout the wrong virus
loudspeakers drown out the eight minute silence
sound sleepers wakin’, mouth around the d+ck of tyrants
[chorus]
rollin’ down lindau, got no shotgun
people yellin’ “f+ck the cops”
the cue cards got the new guard sayin’
rollin’ down lindau, got no shotgun
people yellin’ “f+ck the cops”
they’re callin’ that “a riot”

[ bridge + reporter]
+ showed some of the last few minutes of george floyd’s life
stopped on suspicion on passing counterfeit money
what seems a straightforward arrest, somehow devolves into this+

[clip of a police officer assaulting a news reporter]

[verse 2]
support hong kong? ‘course ya do
in your back yard now, who’s confused ’bout the bad guys?
kids with plastic or pigs givin’ glass eyes?
handpickin’ innocents, kick ’em into van sides
fantasize a little more, want some more warcraft?
“real f+ckin’ war’s been crafted for that poor ass”
backhanded tactics, candid theatrics
lettin’ looters loot, usin’ news as a tactic
“so what?”, that’s it, suck that little titty
what’s happened in this city’s bein’ backed in a committee
that’ll grab at power, lynch these witty little literates
lab an ad, shift their meaning, feed on your indifference
and filter it and nurture it, turn on one another
confederates are back, but they’re mackin’ undercover
they’re k!lling blacks, fact, and it matters that they’re colored
or else it’s just stats and another “massive number”
[chorus]
rollin’ down lindau, got no shotgun
people yellin’ “f+ck the cops”
the cue cards got the new guard sayin’
rollin’ down lindau, got no shotgun
people yellin’ “f+ck the cops”
they’re callin’ that “a riot”…

[outro + clip of philonise floyd testifying before minneapolis city council]
to make sure that his death will not be in vain…
to make sure that he is more than another face on a t+shirt, more than another name on a list that won’t stop growing…
he was mild+mannered, he didn’t fight back. the man who took his life, who suffocated him for 8 minutes and 46 seconds… he still called him “sir” as he begged for his life
i can’t tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch something like that…
the pain you feel when you watch something like that. when you watch your big brother, who you looked up to your whole life, die, die begging for his mom?
people of all backgrounds, genders and races, have come together to demand change
the people marchin’ in the street are telling you enough is enough
enough is enough
