subhas - white collar crimes lyrics

we tear down a forest to build a building to plant trees inside and call it a garden city + that’s a white collar crime
when the welfare hotline redirects and you have to tell your story four or five times + that’s a white collar crime
when you have a government that will sell it’s own people out for the right dollar signs + that’s a collar crimes…

xxx

so i’m loyal to the truth and i would never tell a lie
i’ve been rolling back and forth and i just wanna get my high
i know that you are located somewhere deep inside my mind
so i… so i,… so i

the new topography
possibly property +
dredged sea geography
manifest destiny of a business in the family
hypocrisy prophecy of the hdb and pap
forcibly force fit people into fulcrums of poverty
they don’t let you fly drones cos they don’t want you to see sand
on outlying islands, they out+lying their old man
toxic exposure, sperm counts, ayer chawan, bukom
eugenics, exxon bread
two birds one stone
they took homes, demolished, and built whatever the f+ck. how?!
we let them dump people to build a dump in semakau
we are south east asian + decolonize now!
you can’t spell singapore without organise, now!
my mind plays, these foolish games… ooh
fragments of me will fill the loss the seas, fragments of me, ash and debris
and i say these same old names… ooh
grandfathered in, silver spoons, iron seats
fracking the seas, greenwash the speech

my mind plays…
fragments of me
these games
… ash and debris
and i can’t remain + ooh
jurong burns
for climate justice, the courts adjourned
it’s about time we wake up!
and i never trust a + louis ng
they never learn
different lipstick on the same pig
i recognise ya makeup
so starch the collar, iron the crease
whitewash the histories, utilise the police
f+ck your masterplans, on malay land, stolen sand, migrant hands + ha!

never will i let that chill
never will i catch that feel+ing
i don’t wanna make those bills
all i got in wallet are bills + ah +
not the dollar type…
not the father type…
make it through the night
not a hope in sight
white collar crime
all the f+cking time
how the f+ck to survive..!
but we came from.a fishing village what
and lee kuan yew is a visionary, right?
if that’s bullsh+t say, ah+ah
let me hear you say, ah+ah
everybody say, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

if your vote don’t matter nah
let me hear you say, ah+ah
everybody say, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

the middle class is a lie so say, ah+ah
if you don’t talk to the police say, ah+ah
everybody say, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

cold store was a lie so say+ ah
colonialism still alive today
everybody say, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

thaipusam should be a holiday
everyone deserves minimum pay
everybody say, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

and josephine teo…
