The Argument

[Verse 1]

On the morning of the first eviction

They carried out the wishes of the landlord and his son

Furniture's out on the sidewalk next to the family

That little piggie went to market so they're kicking out everyone

[Chorus 1]

Talking about process and dismissal

Forced removal of the people on the corner

Shelter and location

Everybody wants somewhere

[Verse 2]

The elected are such willing partners

Look who's buying all their tickets to the game

Development wants, development gets, it's official

Development wants this neighborhood gone so the city just wants the same

[Chorus 1]

Talking about process and dismissal

Forced removal of the people on the corner

Shelter and location

Everybody wants somewhere

[Bridge]

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

[Chorus 2]

Process and dismissal

Process and dismissal

Shelter and location

Everybody wants somewhere

[Outro]

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants somewhere, somewhere

Everybody wants

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

Want a mutually assured destructive life-seizing separate culture

To take me over, moving silent like radar

Take me over and blow out my mind now

Full disclosure coming sponsored by no one

Take me over and blow out my mind now

Ejected

I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out

Want a mutually assured destructive life-seizing separate culture

To take me over, moving silent like radar

Take me over and blow out my mind now

Full disclosure coming sponsored by no one

Take me over and blow out my mind now

Blow out my mind now

Blow out my mind now

Full disclosure

Full disclosure

7 ContributorsLife and Limb LyricsWhen the bit pulls tight, the grip is sewn into the reins

Can't breathe it out, you'll just breathe it back again

Come mental-pack, your chambers full for no reason you can name

A boil-in-bag blood supply, you know it's murder on the veins

Oh don't you feel it now?

Viva, viva, viva, life and limb

Viva, viva, viva, threatening

Viva, viva, viva, life and limb

Viva, viva, viva, threatening

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really in a loving way)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really want it right away)

The national temper, you know it's written on your face

Etched and scratched and mirrored back, don't you know it's all the rage?

Oh, don't you feel it now?

Viva, viva, viva, life and limb, I said

Viva, viva, viva, threatening, said

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really in a loving way)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really want it right away)

Right away

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really in a loving way)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really want it right away)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really in a loving way)

Hey, we want our violence doubled

(No, but really want it right away)

Accept family and obligation

I'm not a citizen, I'm not a citizen

Embrace tradition and occupation

Cull memory for assimilation

Secure for future generations

Secure for future generations

I'm not a citizen, I'm not a citizen

I'm not a citizen, I'm not a citizen

Laying in this cold field

Waiting for the call

Feeling right here in this uniform

I think I got them all

Academic or street education

Obtain degree in annihilation

I'm not a citizen, I'm not a citizen

I'm not a citizen, I'm not a citizen

Laying down in chambers

Waiting for the call

Seen your kind so many times

You got no chance at all

Laid out immobile

Hoping for that call

It's in my mouth, under my skin

Sodium pentathol

Sodium pentathol

Sodium pentathol

Sodium pentathol

6 ContributorsEx-Spectator LyricsLooking out for cars and mortality

Trying to find some sort of geometry

Avoiding mistakes

Keep an eye on every step I take

Everything is building and it appears

That you're all architects and engineers

That's how it looks

That's how it looks from here

I'm an ex-spectator

Can't you see?

I'm an ex-spectator

Never let my

Never let my

Never let my

Never let my vision

Get in the way of...

Here's some questions that the writer sent

Can an observer be a participant?

Have I seen too much?

Does it count if it doesn't touch?

If the view is all I can ascertain

Pure understanding is out of range

If I make that call

Why can't I make that change?

I'm an ex-spectator

Can't you see?

I'm an ex-spectator

Never let my

Never let my

Never let my

Never let my vision

Get in the way of me

[Verse 1]

When they start falling, executions will commence

Sides will not matter now, matter makes no sense

How did a difference become a disease?

I'm sure you have reasons, a rational defence

Weapons and motives, bloody fingerprints

But I can't help thinking it's still all disease

[Chorus]

Here comes the argument

Here comes the argument

Here comes the argument

[Verse 2]

It's all about strikes now

So here's what's striking me

That some punk could argue

Some moral ABC's

When people are catching

What bombers release

I'm on a mission

To never agree

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Here comes the argument

Here comes the argument

Here comes the argument

Here comes the argument

Here it comes
