Lyrics

The patriots
 Pledge allegiance to
 Our genocide
 Each generation
 Yesterday 200,000 died
 So I pray for revolution
 Or quicker retribution
 Or hotter hell
 Where stocks don't sell
 It's the nation
 Where believers claim that they're pro life
 Though kids in cages
 Lie estranged from mother's sterilized
 But they'll tithe real well come Sunday
 Like a check could ever outweigh
 The sins you choose
 Who do you pray to?
 We're at the mark
 Where it's getting harder
 To outrun history
 Know we made you all you claim to be
 Bomb for peace
 Leave thousands on the street
 Gas the ones who do protest
 The horrors of the eagles nest
 So yes I think a riot
 Is better than denying
 Your knee upon my neck
 If hate is what's required
 I don't want to be a patriot
 The patriots
 Ordered all the failed
 To cast our votes
 Civic saving a sinking ship
 By becoming rope
 But tomorrow they'll fall silent
 Make a saviour of the white man
 Who'll still fail me
 Hope is the last thing I feel
 Somehow they're jaded
 And protesting their democracy
 Eager agents
 Behind the notion of supremacy
 But they'll claim they love this nation
 Though they're armed at polling stations
 To stop the count
 Truth is a bitch to mount
 We're at the part
 Where love would take us further
 Than stolen land and
 Slept on streets
 Wicked is the cash machine
 Be liberated
 From the prison state
 Since they opened up my eyes
 To live is to be radicalised
 So yes i feel a riot
 Is better than denying
 The knees upon our necks
 If hate is what's required
 I don't wanna be a patriot
