i'm lost from odds & ends by cryshadow

I walked into that place maybe I'm lost
And then I saw your face and went off
There's something all about you now
That makes me want to scream and shout

I sat my ass down you start to talk
Saying something dumb about the cops
I'm zoned out now, lost in my thoughts
I'm not trying to hear you go off (oh!)

You're saying something weird about a riot
But when I was there it was just a protest
You say it's a shame there's punishment
For cops smashing skulls into pavement

You really think you believe in something
Great and stand for freedom wanting
States to rule your own decisions
Give your rank and life position
While others build up an opposition
To your ways of God and freedom
But you can't see what the rest of us can
Pain and hunger, debt imprisons
Stealing rights they never listen
So we're back we're back to take them

I drove past that protest to show support
The opposition standing there all dressed for war
I roll my window down to shout
The slogans but their guns were out

Pointed at my head they were screaming
"Cut your hair you fucking fag you best be leaving"
The cops are there just standing there
They've picked their side and they don't care

So fuck your police state and its protectors
For letting armed citizens beat on protestors
Neo-Nazis in the crowd
Beat their ass and kick em out of town

You asked me why I'm so defiant
Of a system not respecting me for who I am
It's not just me, it never was
It's entire communities that can't trust

A system built on greed and exploitation
Monopoly on violence there's no discretion
You're nothing new you're status quo
Cishet white boy what would you know?

No I'm not gonna listen to your bullshit
No I don't wanna hear no more about it
I'm done listening to blatant hatred
I'm gonna live my life the way I wanna live it
You can't stop me, I'm never gonna let you

No I'm not gonna listen to your bullshit
No I don't wanna hear no more about it
I'm done listening to blatant hatred
I'm gonna live my life the way I wanna live it
You can't stop me, I'm never gonna let you (ooh!)
