The Problem
The problem… The problem…
The problem’s not black the problem is blue
Are we living in a Wild West
where the coppers get away with
bullying the innocent
and committing murder for amount of pigment
What the fuck is happening!?
The problem is not black!
Black Lives Matter said it loud and clear
The problem is blue!
It runs deep into the system
And there’s blue blood in your and my veins too
We need to acknowledge this:
The racism, privilege, no social justice
This is fucking lethal
The problem is not black!
BLM said it loud and clear
The problem is blue!
The problem is not, The problem is not
The problem is not black, The problem is blue
Fuck the police,
white innocence,
the easy way out
Same on me and shame on you
For thinking ‘what did Rishi do?’
we have to face ourselves an ask
did we ever do enough?
What the fuck is happening!?
The problem is not black!
BLM said it loud and clear
The problem is blue! (and also me and you)
The problem is not, The problem is not
The problem is not black, The problem is blue

Right Now
Ten, nine eight seven
six five four, three two one
the countdown has begun
The earth is melting down
shedding ice at record rates
the final hour is ticking away
the floods and drought
global warming is about
to hit us, just so very hard
we’ll have to worry how to save ourselves
we’ll be refugees and we’re heading for
a full on dystopia
Our - privileges, won’t be so obvious
Look at the lowlands and island now, swallowed by the sea
Now is the time for radical and global change
And true solidarity with the poor and global south
Ten, nine eight seven
six five four, three two one
the countdown has begun
sand is pouring down
in an unprecedented pace
the final hour is ticking away
Iceland won’t be Ice
Rain forest to ashes
Extinction, it is happening
Starvation and civil war
Say goodbye to the world as we know it
Kids seek for higher grounds, seek for higher grounds!
Goodbye
to the world as we know it. Seek for higher grounds!
Now is the time for radical and global change
It could bring us a better world, if we do it right…now

You Don't Know
Don’t, don’t be this way
I’m not okay,
Why don’t you just give me an answer?
It’s me, am I to strong?
am I all wrong?
Please don’t go gazing off now
You don’t know coz you don’t listen
You don’t know coz you - There must be -
shit in your ears.
I just can’t explain no more
What the fuck, is wrong with you?
Am I making sense at all?
Please listen!
Don’t, don’t be this way
I’m not okay,
I might just burst from frustration
What is it you don’t get?
Am I too complex?
So stuck in your binary thinking
You don’t know coz you don’t listen
You don’t know coz you don’t – Open -
up, all of your ears.
Stay with me, mark my words
Am I getting, getting through?
I don’t want to listen too
I don’t want to. I don’t want to.
I don’t want to listen to your shit.
Not anytime soon.
I’m so totally fed up with it. Bleh!

Toxic Masculinity
So little do we know about the roads we walked
Did we really show ourselves in all the hours we talked?
I’m getting to a point now, and there’s no turning back
I want do drop my guards and get rid of all that crap
For so many boys in this society
there is no space to show vulnerability
we shouldn’t bottle it up no more,
you can talk to me till your throat feels sore
Coz toxic masculinity
is driving men to - insanity
at best they suffer from those other men
but at worst they rape and rule the planet
I’m so sorry that minorities, always get pointed at
While statistics clearly show it is always those men
All the harm done to women - and society as a whole
We can never make up for, but should never give up to
Do the right thing, step up to other men,
look in the mirror – and be honest with yourself
we shouldn’t normalize: ‘boys will be boys’
if they’re sexist or aggressive point them straight to the door.
Coz toxic masculinity
has a hold on society
at best we all suffer from those dominant men
but at worst men rape and rule the planet
Don’t beat the girl out of the boy.
We should share our stories coz they’re so powerful
Getting to a point now, and there’s no turning back
We’re opposite of that and we’ve got each other’s back.
Toxic masculinity
has a hold on society
at best we all suffer from those dominant men
but at worst men rape and rule the planet
We’re getting to a point now, and there’s no turning back
We’re opposite of that and we’ve got each other’s back.
We’re getting to a point now, and there’s no turning back
Toxic toxic man. Run as fast as you can
Toxic toxic man. Run as fast as you can
Toxic masculinity
has a hold on society
at best we all suffer from those dominant men
but at worst men rape and rule the planet

Greed
They’ve seen it coming but didn’t do nothing at all.
Old boys kept on making money until the shit really hit the wall.
Greed, corporate greed
Greed, that’s making us bleed
Now that their luck has ran up
Governments are bailing out the banks
With money stolen from the people
And the boys can fill their pockets once again
This is the time
to draw the line
Get on your feet
We are the ninety-nine
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We are the ninety-nine
We’re facing cuts like they want to fade us off their charts
Privatizing more and more, putting the market at the systems heart
Greed, corporate greed
Greed, that’s making us bleed
Don’t accept (that) we’re being cut up.
For one percent, we, the ninety-nine are abused
We demand equal sharing
In fact, we’ve got nothing else to lose.
This is the time
to draw the line
Get on your feet
We are the ninety-nine
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We draw the line
Stop the cuts - We are the ninety-nine
Greed, corporate greed
Greed, that’s making us bleed

Boreal World
So let me get this straight first, you are a misogynist pig
Selling white supremacy as a classy thing, (it) makes me sick
But you ain’t fooling me no, you ain’t fooling me hell no
you dogwhistle blowing slimeball, that owl is shitting on your piano
fuck your boreal, go fuck your boreal world
fuck your boreal, go fuck your boreal world
A classic narcissist that is what you are, you know that as well
You want to be the savior, but who you should be helping, is yourself
Got to give you this, I did not expect you, to come so far
Guess I was naïve, it’s so disturbing, you could be the new star
But you ain’t fooling me no, you ain’t fooling me hell no
a blatant fascist you are, no alt facts can disguise your true goals
fuck your boreal, go fuck your boreal world
fuck your boreal, go fuck your boreal world
But since my neighbor’s talking, just like you - got to think… think about
How to stop your poison from spreading all around… all around
Scapegoating the usual
with fake news, alternative facts
shove that shit back up your ass
let’s burst that filter bubble
That’s not - my world
you are - living in
it’s not - your world
We are - living in
This is - our world
we are - living in
Stop that poisoning
Stop that poisoning
poisoning
poisoning
poison
poison

Rough
I feel so damn bad.
It’s out, now I’ve said it.
My every fibre wants the revolution, but
feels glued, it’s tragic
Am I taken by some force I can’t control?
What beast is inside of me that keeps me by the horns?
I don’t fight enough
I have conflicting thoughts
Am I too lazy?
Or am I just too rough?
I’m stuck in the groove
thinking overwhelmingly big
Looking at the world, I draw my conclusions
It’s so depressing
Am I taken by some force I can’t control?
What beast is inside of me that keeps me by the horns?
I don’t fight enough
I have conflicting thoughts
Am I too lazy?
Or am I just too rough?
Let’s roll up our sleeves
And hit the dough
Make food not bombs
And feed the poor. Hell, make a shitload more
Let’s build a city
On anarchy and peace
take down the fences
welcome the refugees
Cut the, dragnets
Free the, cattle
Light the, palace, light the fucking palace
with every fibre in me
with every fibre
I mean that, mean it
Can you, feel it?
It makes me, feel bad - makes me feel so fucking bad
every fibre in me
every muscle
aches (bleeds)
every fibre
weeps
every fibre
Am I taken by some force I can’t control?
What beast is inside of me that keeps the horns?
I don’t fight enough
I have conflicting thoughts
Am I too lazy?
Or am I just too rough?
(take dow the fences)
(Light the palace)
(Free the animals)
Or am I just too rough on myself

Cardiac Arrest
Burn the slaughter houses down
The time is right, we’ve got to end that business
Can't bare the torture anymore
What are they thinking? They are untouchable?
I like my seitan, like my veg
Put on a skewer, marinate it and relax
No bloodshed on our barbecue
My tahini topping is gonna blow your mind in two
plus you won’t die, die, die from a heart attack
you won’t die, die, die from cardiac arrest
Made so easy nowadays, Stop nou met dat stukkie vlees, Oh come on!
I like my seitan, like my veg
Put on a skewer, marinate it and relax
No bloodshed on our barbecue
My tahini topping is gonna blow your mind in two
plus you won’t die, die, die from a heart attack
you won’t die, die, die, die

Sloop de Barakken

Sloop de barakken
Ze komen aan in rubberen boten
Het leven achter hen kapot geschoten
Gezinnen met kinderen volledig verscheurd
Vol verdriet en angst na wat er is gebeurd
De reis was duur en vol gevaren
Seawatch doet haar best ze van de zee te halen
Frontex houdt de deur hermetisch dicht
Fort Europa blijft voor velen ver, ver uit zicht
Sloop de barakken, breek de staat,
rot toch op met je vreemdelingenhaat
je kan niet blijven zitten, geen mens hoort in de cel
we moeten ze bevrijden uit die klotehel
Dromend van een toekomst vol idealen
Hopend op een welkom in een land zonder geweld
waar kind’ren kunnen spelen en veilig kunnen slapen
In een huis vol warmte en zonder wapens
Gestopt in centra, procedures
houden ze uit de maatschappij
De massa opgehitst, ze horen er niet bij
geef ze een thuis en zicht op leven, sloop de
Sloop de barakken, breek de staat,
rot toch op met je vreemdelingenhaat
je kan niet blijven zitten, geen mens hoort in de cel
we moeten ze bevrijden uit die klotehel
Het zijn toch mensen als jij en ik
Op de vlucht voor oorlog In de zee gestikt.
