Bandcamp if you want to download and can't afford it

Lyrics:

Got shot by police,

no it didn't feel nice

I wonder what's next

"Abolish ICE!",

Yell the people with their fists in the air

Well you win and you lose and you win some

My ears are still ringing from their weapons

Yeah you win and you lose and you win some

And my wounds are still stinging from their weapons

Coming to a neighborhood near you, next to prisons

On the walls of the system, "protect and serve" is written in blood

Awake! (A-C-A-B)

The Devil (A-C-A-B)

At the gates (A-C-A-B)

Of power (A-C-A-B)

Propagate! (A-C-A-B)

It louder (A-C-A-B)

Assimilate (A-C-A-B)

Like thunder...

Fuck the police

The American vice

and I wonder what's next

Make 'em pay the price

Yell the people with their fists in the air

Well you win and you lose and you win some

My ears are still ringing from their weapons

Yeah you win and you lose and you win some

And my wounds are still stinging from their weapons

Propagate (A-C-A-B)

It Louder (A-C-A-B)

Assimilate (A-C-A-B)

Like thunder (A-C-A-B)

Don't wait (A-C-A-B)

The time's come (A-C-A-B)

Resuscitate (A-C-A-B)

In numbers (A-C-A-B)

So break the chains

From the aggressor

And seize the day

Their time's up

Eliminate the oppressor

It's time to pay

In one way or another...

    It's part of a system of things that we sought to oppose in /r/hailcorporate which helped to turn the site into a corporate mainstream hellhole from what was originally a rather niche techie site for high quality techie things and bizarre creator-led communities.

    As any form of social media expands mainstream content creeps in and takes over... In part because mods, especially in volunteer-only communities, do not understand the lifespan and changing conditions of online communities as they grow.

    If you want a community to stay cutting-edge it MUST be creator-led. As soon as it stops being creator-led the creators go somewhere else because they need an audience. What you're left with is whatever people are able to find which is typically going to lean towards the mainstream just based on discoverability.
