lil shitty - 06 - contradictions lyrics

[intro]
zach de la rocha (from rage against the machine) talking about america
“living in the states you are living in one of the most brutal societies in the history of the world. the country that inherited the genocide of native american peoples. a country that partic+p+ted in chattel slavery, the only country in the world to use and drop an atomic bomb on another country. the country which which murdered and enslaved millions in southeast asia as a result of the vietnam war. we drew from the people who resisted. we were inspired because we feel that any society or any government or any system that is setup solely to profit a wealthy class while the majority of the people toil and suffer and sell their labor power, so long as that systems only true motive is profit interest and not the maintenance and betterment of the population to meeting human needs, then that society should not stand. it should be challenged and questioned and overthrown.”

[verse]
the definition of a contradiction is to be in conflict with
capitalism finds that competition to be its main conduit
that competition is meant to hurt and claim dominance
you believe you are better, but left your neighbor pondering

is it me that is insufficient, the evidence is preponderant
pro lifers saying they care, on the death penalty they are silent!!!
once out of the womb no food, no help, they become tyrants!!
for the thousands of children in foster care they are strident!
that the poor get nothing and demand that they are compliant
and behave in this fantasy, christian 1950s white environment
its like americans claiming freedom while our lifestyle is reliant
on violence and claims of producing profitable business for clients

but i don’t buy it, the contradictions are thick with biden and the democrats
pro women’s rights? then codify roe and turn the hyde amendment back
but remember that, the workers are the ones with the true power
time for a general strike and we will get our demands in only a few hours

[chorus]
bernie talking about the state of american politics
“what he is telling you point blank is who is the puppet and who is the puppeteer?
don’t go home this august until you give us 176 billion
that’s the state of american politics.”
[verse]
every day you get up, don’t think twice, and slave away
you spend your mornings getting ready, don’t forget to shave your face
brush your t++th, get dressed, eat food, pick up the pace
find time to keep yourself healthy, and time to educate
take care of your kids, make dinner, and don’t get to bed too late
what’s the date? i’ve lost track of everything let’s drink to commiserate

how can i reproduce myself for capital, if they castrate
every part of the process, they profit, and mandate
can’t escape their economy, money, profit, required credit rates
no time to buy groceries, cook healthy, work out or meditate
marx’s law of immiseration, from a rat in this pathetic race
the main contradiction of capitalism, that marks its edifice

puking out basic contradictions, while people venerate
the entire point is to distill everything qualitative into market rate!
friedman and hayek are some of the biggest con artists to date!!!
shareholder primacy is the true road to serfdom, neoliberalism is the next darkest age!!!!!

[chorus]
jeffrey sachs recalls the most violent country since 1950
“you can be democratic at home and ruthlessly imperial abroad
the most violent country in the world since 1950 has been the united states”

[verse]
save me the outrage for the ukraine and israeli wars
i support palestine, what is the point of us escalation for?
enrich defense industry, there’s no other explanation for
funding genocide with our money, this is what legislations for?

but instead we sell bombs to the saudis and israel iron dome
billions we could be spending to improve our lives or fortify our home
“israel has universal healthcare and public college paid for”
we send them billions in weapons for their forces to raid doors
approving apartheid to win the religious race war

attacking bds to silence any criticizing house or senators
now anti+semitist for calling out the colonial settlers
capitalist crush workers even with unlimited competitors
i can’t deal with these contradictions, we are prey for these predators
predators is a complement, how bout blood sucking money grubbing fetid sores
feeding on the earth and population, extracting life for bond creditors

it will catch up to u, if you are old and have grandchildren don’t forget
this short sightedness, all humans will look back and regret
the value for shareholders does not beget a healthy society
it doesnt prop up a civilization bereft of meaning or privacy
it’s time to own up to these contradictions before the right wing attacks violently

[outro]
howard zinn talks about our hypocrite nation
“we have come a long way from a nation itself that was struggling for independence and now here we are sending our troops all over the world to make sure that n0body lifts a head, just look around the world and see how people are living, is it any wonder they want a revolt, is it any wonder why the people in africa, the people in latin america, the people in the middle east, the people in asia want to make revolutions, want to change their lives and what are we doing about that? we are sending our military troops around the world to keep them down. is that what we meant by setting up a great and democratic country?”
