from our first 7" of the same name - recorded by Steve Hunter @ Means of Production Studios (Corvallis, OR) - mastered by Brad Boatright @ Audiosiege

lyrics

(inspired by the 1994 Rwandan Genocide)

This is not the way it has to be
Living life so desperately
Running through trees, getting away
Machete man gonna kill my family

Already hacked a thousand friends to death
It's gonna happen again
Not a neighbor anymore
Just a roach stomped on the floor

Tied down to a past of tyranny
Still enslaved to ideology
This card says I'm different from you
But it's an ancient racial stew

We're all mixed up in this wasted land
Just pawns for the Europe man
You don't have to cut off my head
But maybe I'm better off dead?
