Did You Hear? 03:49
lyrics

Did You Hear? Did you hear what the hawks had to say? They cried the Monsanto plague Of their glyphosates That penetrate Fuck the FDA who said it was safe Did you hear the cries As the ‘copters destroyed the fields Of medicine and meals Of cannabis and grains And all the grass the cows graze And the rivers of water the people drink Poisoned by cancer causing chemical shit And the homes these human beings reside The land which they rely Decimated by pesticides Did you see what the vulture saw? While it waded through its wasteland A once eden Leveled by our frenzied excess exploitation As they fly away from their fiery graves Our consumer-fueled craze has blazed Wondering if they’ll find a new land Integrate without the threat of man By Nathan Newburn

Groundswell 02:24
lyrics

Groundswell This is a groundswell We’re fighting to dispel the lies We’re fighting to fortify We’re fighting to save our lives This is a groundswell We rebel together to expel denial Quell the catastrophe of our lives Before we further Earth’s demise There is a foul smell Oozing out of the well Earth’s lungs are coated in black There’s no turning us back A hurricane just unloaded Big oil tanks just exploded A glacier just melted Sea levels have swollen Engulfing us in this groundswell We are a cowbell Banging out the boasts of deniers With chants, “Our house is on fire!” We are a groundswell Led by the youth Informed by the science Defining the design of our lives Striking for justice, and human rights This is a groundswell to open our eyes We are a warning bell Earth’s survival depends on us Nobody was listening Now the world is waking up We are a groundswell By Nathan Newburn

Can’t Be Swayed (No More) Everyone Tellin me What to do How to be Everyone Thinks they know What’s best for me They lecture me Put me down Tell me I’m wrong Tell me they’re right Always a fight Their judgment Implies I’m paranoid Cause I smoke too much weed Testify as to why It demotivates me Try and make me conform To their society Their ideology Their piety Well fuck off No more You can’t bring me down To your dirty floor You can’t force me to open That fuckin door I’m standin aside Of the curses you swore I’m letting them fill That bubble of yours I can’t be swayed no more, no more I can’t be swayed no more I can’t be swayed no more, no more I can’t be swayed no more Poem section: I feel the sense of outcast Of not being what others want of you Of not signing the contract to suffer Living freed from peoples self-constraints Imposed upon your head Disillusioned Called crazy In this system broken down This Torment Derangement Complacence Estrangement Stomach won’t digest anymore Bankrupted by bills And pills pushed your way I don’t accept that life no more I won’t stay silent, it’s war Where protests are suppressed Freedom of press attacked Division and denial Beset in the psyche I can’t fit in I’m a rebel A wildfire raging in my skin I can’t be swayed no more, no more I can’t be swayed no more I can’t be swayed no more, no more I can’t be swayed no more x5 By Nathan Newburn

Motivated By The Split 02:13

Motivated By The Split Feelin poisoned by the daggers that you spit Trapped and drownin in this pit I needa immunize myself against this shit Time to take control, it’s time we split Must’ve missed the dishonest intent Tricked my trusting gut into thinking you transparent I know how your struggle and fight to make rent Makes you think you’re owed the money from my rents Attacked by the vitriol you hide so well Hidden behind the charm, and story you tell And all the curses and anger you spill Fermentin inside your stomach till it spoils Feelin freed from the venom that you spit Left a lamp to light your blackened pit Closed the door, shut out the shit And moved on, motivated by the split Feelin freed from the spears that you spit Left a lamp to light your blackened pit Closed the door, shut out the shit And moved on, motivated by the split By Nathan Newburn

Just The Other Day 02:45

Just The Other Day Just the other day I had no friends Till they started calling me again Just the other day I had no hope Then I saw this proud Asperger’s girl who spoke Bravely about herself Stood up to the adults at fault It was just the other day Just the other day I saw a gun Shoot down 17 in a run Just the other day I saw a car Mow down a row of protestors Just the other day I saw the tanks Line up outside the ranks Of dissenters Just the other day Today I felt the sun Bare, exposed, and naked Today I felt the pain Of not being protected Today I feel the emptiness The hollowness of being alone Now today I feel the power in being disconnected Tomorrow brings the fears of existential crisis Tomorrow begs us to protect our planet Tomorrow unfolds its bright circumstance I guess its happenstance By Nathan Newburn

Ready For The Forest 02:31

Ready For The Forest I’m sick of it all Sick of it all Foreboding concrete Stinkin’ sidewalk gutter Fillin’ the sea with our industrial pee The city’s asphalt falls Of fountain walls Graffiti’d with an exhaust pen Sketched by engines exhaustion I’m ready for the forest I’m ready for serene I’m ready for the streams we cross To get to the ravine I’m woken by A fire truck Screechin’ up an alarm The machines arm Construction working on City lights blind The stars to our stardust And we begin to rust I’m sick of it all The city starts to fall I’m ready for the forest I’m ready for serene I’m ready for the streams we cross To get to the ravine I’m ready for the downpour I’m ready for the hornbill I’m ready for the bullets of The waterfall By Nathan Newburn

Dreams Of My Beaded Pondo Hat Wake up at 3am in the morning Write down your dreams Light the fire down in the kitchen Have a sacred steam Tell the bad spirits to fuck off Burn your spliff Eat more millipap Baby bathin naked in the river Walk down haul water from the river The ganga must be cut down Before the rains starts Dry the aloe and tobacco Crush to make the snuff Suck your spliff Eat more millipap Chop down dead wood round forest Collect the medicine on the mountain Dance around the sacrificed cow skin drum Come on clap along In trance the ancient words are sung Burn your spliff Drink umqombothi Dance and clean in the cream of mphepo’s dream Shake the rope rash cymbals strapped around your ankles adorned with beads Wake up at 3am in the morning Write down your dreams Light the fire down in the kitchen Have a sacred steam Makhosi Makhosi By Nathan Newburn
