Where's the Revolution

Where’s the revolution?
We’ve been waiting for too long
To have our voices heard
It’s so absurd
we cannot fix what’s wrong
I know we’ve got a constitution
It doesn’t seem it’s being read
The structure built to keep us down
We must bring crashing down instead
Where’s our revolution?
Tired of the lies, tired from the truth
Burned out at both ends
As I burn through my youth
Pay for the home, pay off the degrees
Take out another loan to buy groceries
Don’t feel qualified to just start yelling
I got it better than most
But it’s still overwhelming
We’ve been asking politely but they want us dead;
Could’ve had healthcare; we got nothing instead
So tell me, Where’s the revolution?
Or do you think that it’s a game?
Another #hashtag #post to #rockthevote
While our wombs are ripped away
We need a whole new institution
We wanna finally breathe again
We watch the death toll rise through amber skies
And wonder how it’s gonna end
Complete collapse
And they won’t offer a solution
Where’s our revolution?
Now I would say that before, I was sympathetic
The videos I’d watch with horror (…That’s pathetic.)
I’m not equipped to hit the streets
I stay home at night & give the right retweets
I’ll own up to my passivity—
'Til the cops started firing at the balcony
Gotta do something new, this is not the same
We can’t stay inside playing video games
We’re in a free-fall fascist nightmare
Need a bold solution
where’s our revolution?
Where’s the revolution?
We didn’t ask for painted streets
Because the people fight
For equal rights
Abolish the police
Another pointless execution
Another human being dead
The system built to keep us down
We must bring crashing down instead
Because our lives are stolen away
To live in destitution
Because the summer lasts forever
Choking on pollution
Because the empty words they speak
Are but a mass delusion
Where’s our revolution?
Where’s our revolution?
Where's our revolution?
Where's our revolution.

Ruby sky and yellow haze
To go outside, what mask will we need today?
Feeling okay; gotta stay
In a peaceful state of mind
Don’t scroll the feed, but you can’t look away,
Draggin’ me forward kicking and screaming
–Oh no, is that a cough?
I hear a knock
It’s time to log off
Don’t have the energy to analyze
Can’t let that anxiety paralyze
We don’t need no thoughts and prayers
We just need to breathe the air
Smoke so thick but there’s a mission
To see in 20/20 vision
A beacon shining on the water
Got to find a light to guide her
Twenty-twenty, can’t escape it
Face it today and leave our tomorrow behind
It’s been four years since Saturday
I called my parents just to say
"Don’t waste a neuron on the news;”
It’s what we choose to give power to
Shock & awe come homeland “security”
Fake faces scream from the Uncanny Valley
The robots are racist
(There’s no justice)
Our voices raw, we shout into the void;
Can we find a better way to make some noise?
It’s not like anything is stopping
Air-conditioned grocery shopping
Windshield-wipe away the ashes
As the empire collapses
See the light, shining yet smothered
and find the strength to carry others
Spinning flame and reeling mind
Take cover today and leave your tomorrow behind
(’13) I remember we broke down and cried
(’14) When we first came to see what was hidden inside
(’15) For a time, folded our arms as we scoffed
(’16) Right before we mourned a future lost
(’17) Tried to fight the flood off every day
(’18) But the fires burned it all away
(’19) Nobody’s coming to save us
(2020) Stay inside ‘cause it’s all contagious
The boiling amber sun is yearning
Behind the mountains ever-burning
20twenty cyber fusion
Fight off every mass delusion
Patriotic Education
Fake your way through the next station
20:20 out past curfew
To see society born anew
Every day we go on living
Find a smile, keep on giving
Solidarity restoring
Because dystopia is boring
Fight for all the ones that died
We will resist this genocide
The hopelessness their only weapon;
But there are more of us than there are of them
No more of them;
There are more of us than there are of them.

It's honestly hard to pick a favorite from this small, eclectic offering of tracks. This is my first exposure to Chiyoco, and it's left me very curious about what her future ventures will bring. :)

Variety is the word of the day. Rap music in different languages, tender-hearted ballads, and even disco music, and it's all fantastic! So many earworms in this one. It just keeps getting better.
