lyrics

sitting on a fine line
trying to make a good time
we can spot a slaughter cause we're out here every day
this is how we do it
this is how the free live
we do what we wanna do because we know we can

we don't really want to
we don't really have to
we got every right to not do everything you say
when they pull you over
it's already over
reaching in your pocket is a capital offense

mr. police man, what is the problem
you always shoot first, don't ask no questions
when you see a molehill you build a mountain
please don't get scared cause I don't want to die

you roll up on some kid who's
waving something at you
looks like it's a weapon so you shoot him on the spot

take a little time first
do some research
maybe you don't have to take a life

mr. police man, what is the problem
you always shoot first, don't ask no questions
when you see a molehill you build a mountain
please don't get scared cause I don't want to die

we got love
we got fear
we got our hands in our pockets but there's nothing there
so don't shoot
don't jerk your knee
I know you just wanna stay alive but so do we
yeah

so if you wanna be safe all the good police say
if you don't cooperate you're asking for a fight
but we all know you won't be shot for getting angry
if you're in a mercedes and you're sixty-five and white

Mayaenova Austin, Texas

Jam-packed with juicy 60s drum samples, spicy 70s-style bass licks, and caustic Bernie-cratic lyrics decrying the rampant income and wealth inequality ever since, DONOR REPUBLIC is a 20-song ode to freedom from corporatism, crony capitalism, and the corrupt political system in which we live. ... more
