moor mother - liverpool wins lyrics

august 28th, 1833
august 1st, 1834
bounded
bounded to unpaid labour without citizenship
without name, without language
look down in the galley
august 1st, 1834
payouts, bailouts
payout, bailout, rich before crime
rich during the crime
and rich after
just enough to build a city
a country
an infrastructure
a financial revolution
a stronger christianity
a whiter god
a period of enlightenment
who builds death like this?
the romans, the dutch, the portuguese, the french, the spanish, and don’t stop, won’t stop
who can’t find any room for apologies?

1856, the opening of the national portrait gallery
full of lies
europeans’ first encounter with a mirror and look how they see themselves
in the famous painting of queen victoria she is presenting a bible to a moor in windsor
called ‘the secret of england’s greatness’
how long did it take?
how long did it take?
how long did it take to pay off the trauma?
you’ve been paying for it all your life
with just enough left over to buy a pint and a lie
a burning truth
wrapped in the bosom of [?] and peter
how long did it take to pay off the trauma?
the madness
the infrastructure, the [?], the ports, the parks, the castles, the churches, the universities
god (oh god)
my god (how long did it take)
(how long did it take to pay off the trauma?)
save our souls (save our souls)
save our future, rot in your mouth (save our future, rot in your mouth)
(how long did it take, did it take, did it take)
(how long did it take?)
