LYRICS

SEEDS

THEY TRIED TO BURY US
BUT WE’RE SEEDS
THEY TRIED TO PULL US OUT
BUT WE’RE WEEDS
WE TAKE BACK THE STREETS
TOGETHER
WE’LL BE HERE ROOTING DEEPER
FOREVER

WE LIVE IN THE CRACKS OF THE SIDEWALKS
AND THE CRACK OF THE STREETS
WE RUN ACROSS THE ROOFS OF THE CITY
THERE’S NO END TO OUR REACH

PERSISTENT THROUGH THE SEASONS
WE EVOLVE AND WE GROW
GROWING FASTER AND BIGGER
WE CONTINUE TO SOW

WE GROW IN COORDINATION
WE KNOW TOGETHER WE WIN
THEY CAN’T CONTROL WHERE WE BLOOM
WHEN WE SPREAD ON THE WIND

FREE

PALESTINE SHOULD BE FREE
FROM THE FUCKING RIVER TO THE SEA
WEST BANK AND GAZA LET THEM BREATHE
FROM THE FUCKING RIVER TO THE SEA

HOME MADE ROCKETS
VS. MISSLES

PEOPLE OF THE LAND
HAVE A RIGHT TO RETURN

LAND TAKEN
FROM A PEOPLE
WALL BUILT
TO DIVIDE

STAND

WE STAND WITH DEFENDERS OF THE LAND
WE STAND WITH PROTECTORS OF THE WATER

THERE’S BLOOD ON OUR HANDS
THERE’S BLOOD ON THIS STOLEN LAND

HOPE

I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR SYSTEM BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR COP CARS BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR FLAGS BURNING

I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR PIPELINES BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR BACKHOES BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR TANKERS BURNING

I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR MANSIONS BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR DOLLARS BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR PRISONS

I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF THEIR LIES BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF PARLIAMENT BURNING
I SEE HOPE IN THE ASHES OF YOUNG STREET BURNING

BICYCLE FACE

DON’T BE A FRIGHT
DON’T FAINT ON THE ROAD

DON’T REFUSE ASSISTANCE UP A HILL
DON’T RACE LEAVE THAT TO THE SCORCHERS

DON’T CULTIVATE
A BICYCLE FACE

DON’T ASK WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY BLOOMERS
DON’T USE BIKE SLANG LEAVE THAT TO THE BOYS

DON’T GO OUT AFTER DARK WITHOUT A MALE ESCORT
DON’T DISCUSS BLOOMERS WITH EVERY MAN YOU KNOW

DON’T BE A FRIGHT
DON’T FAINT ON THE ROAD

FIRE

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR POLITICS
CARE ABOUT YOUR ADVOCATES
NO DIVERSITY IN GOVERNMENT
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR COMPANY
CARE ABOUT YOUR MANAGEMENT
NO SPACE AT THE TABLE SFOR ME
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

YOU LIED AND YOU MEDICATED
LIED AND INCARCERATED
THEN SAY WE'RE NOT JUSTIFIED
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

A BROAD PATTERN OF VIOLENCE
DISGUSTED WITH YOUR SILENCE
BLAMED AND UNDIGNIFIED
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

ALL YOUR SYSTEMS JUST ADVOCATE
POVERTY AND PREJUDICE
MIDDLE CLASS WHITE FEMINIST
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

I WON'T BE YOUR FAIRY TALE
MY VALUE ISN'T FOR SALE
I WON'T LIVE OBJECTIFIED
SET IT ALL ON FIRE

BOOT

HOW MUCH WORK 
CAN SOMEONE BE EXPECTED TO DO?
WHEN THAT'S THERE ENERGY TO SURVIVE
WHEN THAT'S THEIR ENERGY TO FLOURISH
TAKE A LOOK
TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT OUR LIVES
SEE JUST WHERE THE POWER FLOWS
SEE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

IT'S NOT THEIR JOB, TO PUSH BACK UP, WE NEED TO PICK UP OUR SLACK
TAKE OFF THE BOOT, IN EVERYTHING, THAT WE DO

HOW MUCH WORK
CAN WE TAKE OFF SOMEBODY'S HANDS
WE HAVE TO HELP PUSH BACK, WE HAVE TO HELP FIGHT
WE ARE HERE, LOOKING FROM A PRIVILEGED PLACE
WE HAVE TO MAKE SPACE TO SURVIVE
WE HAVE TO HELP MAKE SPACE TO FLOURISH

HOW MUCH WORK
CAN WE TAKE?

TAKE OFF THE BOOT
IN EVERYTHING, THAT WE DO
