Glasses and Balaclavas

This song is my tribute to Antifa

Glasses and Balaclavas

Heed our masters 
In beards and glasses
and balaclavas
Teaching theory classes

Keen to filter
All that passes
Shadow banning  
So called fascists

Hear them chatter,
Aren’t they clever? 
Obsessed with matters,
Race and gender 

See them gather
To hush dissenters
mob Justice
Is theirs’ to render

(Chorus )
We’re so goad you decided to
join the cause
You can hold the front lines
while we change
The laws
Your mother called, dinner’s on
She’ll understand
You’ve come to stop the hegemon
To fight the man

Brash and book smart
trust-fund sweethearts
and agit prop tarts
To the ramparts

Young and righteous
Larping pirates
Future tyrants
Stoking violence 

They say they want
a revolution
With the funds
of corporations

They are one mind, 
and they are legion
demanding total
complete
submission

(Chorus)
We’re glad that you
decided to
join the cause,
You can hold
the front lines
While we write the laws  

Your mother called 
Dinner’s on 
She’ll understand,
You’re out to stop 
the hegemon,
To fight the Man
Who’s the man?
What’s the man?
Where’s the man?
They’re right here
Look in the mirror…
