WIP Lyrics - WTF ARE YOU DOING THERE?
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 16:37:23 +0000 UTCAnother set of WIP lyrics. These were written after hearing news stories of ICE agents trying to gain access to elementary schools and teachers having to stand up to them to turn them away. It is terrifying the extent to which ICE and the US government is going to fulfil their promise of mass deportations. To raid elementary schools is so incredibly low.
There is a significant suspension of due process and rights in the name of mass deportation and it happened so quickly after Trump was inaugurated. Democracy is being dismantled piece by piece in the US. As a Canadian, I look on at our neighbours to the south both in horror and with fear of when Trump will turn his unfettered power to the north.
Here are the lyrics:
Carrying out Executive orders
Not a moment of doubt Not an ounce of morals
With fake forged warrants they use as a tool
To follow the dictation of a fascist fool
When teachers have to turn away men
With big letter jackets, who pretend to defend
You know it is not for the good of the state
But for oligarchs needing labour and hate
Creating an enemy makes the populace blind
To the fact that the rulers pull wool over eyes
They sew hate to create the world that they need
To do horrible things that feeds their greed
What the fuck are you doing there?
Seizing children, what's next a day care?
Because the biggest threat is a child with a pencil
Not the hordes of supremacists with rifles
What the fuck are you doing there?
Detaining and beating while bystanders stare.
Because the biggest threat is the one laying bricks
Not the billionaires cheating us all with their tricks
