lyrics

BUSH MAMA BLUES
The bulls poke their horns in the hive Just to hear the buzzing They live just to see you writhe This city’s being muzzled
It’s a slow-motion ethnic cleanse Clean out the gutter Keep the lines red and the rubbish in bins Now everything’s the right color
Make sure they’ve cleared a route That they’re free to roam They turned a prison inside out And they call it home
Suburban Sykeses and Picots Tyro-Cartography Blood-full-belly mosquitos The Haussmanns of the beach
Every time you raise your fist The ceiling just gets lower The sooner you need something fixed The system just gets slower
They just won the racial raffle Petty colonizers Still have the nerve to be baffled When the rabble rises
Don’t dare call it an uprising the Man’s gonna call it a riot No one else finds it surprising When the kids set this shit on fire
Every time you raise your fist The ceiling just gets lower As soon as you you need something fixed The system just gets slower
Hey! Behind the gate All locked away See what you did
Hey! Don’t turn away Look what you made These are your kids
Every time you raise your fist The ceiling just gets lower As soon as you you need something fixed The system just gets slower
