Insurrection

by Twan - Aries

they came from the north and they came from the south 
they came to put food into the children's mouths
they came to walk the streets and came to fight
they came to find those by the grace of dim light 
three minutes into rage and three minutes into drunk
its papa if youre a man and papi if youre a punk
just bullshit from role players and things we never did
arms no legs of an angered squid
the sun rolls over the horizon, the night is going to set
we fell into the dying light and looked up at the sky wet
the timing is everything,renegades have dominated the night
no rain, sleet, hail or taking flight 
with the sun up the normal and the non-caring aboveground
having nothing to do but listen to the sun going down
begins the revolution thats been going on a hundred years
when i die i know no one who cares will cry tears
there is no revolution. there is no retreat
there is no attack, no way you won't suffer defeat
there is no revolution, there is no one to try
there's no one out there who doesn't avoid the die
the roll of the dice decides if it will be televised
hookers walk up to cars and schemes are devised
people smile and asked are you really very clever??
just enough to tell you the revolution begins never.
