It’s out 21 February via New West Records. To explore and enjoy more by Sunny War, see also the other embedded links below.
Like a junkie with a worn out Minor Threat cassette
You’re a walking contradiction, but I ain’t upset
All your words I take with a grain of salt
Cos I know you’re fake, but it's not your fault
Sucking dick for a dollar’s not the only way to hoe
We sell labor, we sell hours, sell our power, sell our souls
All the pigs and the big wigs foaming at the mouth
Look down at us laughing like we’ll never figure out
All the food we buy grows in the dirt
But we can’t grow our own cos we’ve gotta go to work
And the rent is due every 30 days
And you won’t have nothing once your bills are paid
It’s simply users and abusers, us and them, peace and war
Ain’t it funny how you don’t see them as people anymore?
Everybody gets a soapbox and a bag of dreams
And an echo chamber allocated for the screams
While the war pigs killed more kids today
Picket signs were made 6,000 miles away
And all the lefties and the liberals were marching so you know
Just because they pay their taxes doesn’t mean that they don’t know
All the pigs and the big wigs foaming at the mouth
Look down at us laughing like we’ll never figure out
All the war outside starts here at home
If they didn’t have our money they’d be fighting it alone
Doesn’t matter what your silly little signs have to say
Cos the genocide is funded by the taxes that you pay
It’s simply users and abusers, us and them, peace and war
Ain’t it funny how you don’t see them as people anymore?
And they pacify you with the right to march and right to speak
Cos they know that you rely on them for everything you eat
And you’ll never truly break away or ever leave their side
Your humanity does not outweigh your will to survive
You associate survival with the order they provide
Like the government is vital for a people’s chance to thrive
Ain’t it funny how you don’t see them as people anymore?
Simply users and abusers, us and them, peace and war
It’s simply users and abusers, us and them, peace and war
Ain’t it funny how you don’t see them as people anymore?
