Yeah, sex is great
But have you ever fucked the system?
Hate to hate
And my religion is resistance
Gatorade
The only thing they water plants with
Fuck the state
Men love when women only whisper
Hear me scream
Your silence won't protect you
Hear me scream
Your silence won't protect you
Hear me scream
Your silence won't protect you
Hear me scream
Boom boom boom
Riot boom boom boom

Riot boom boom boom
Like a baby with a knife

Piss me off, we're gonna fight
Yeah, yeah we're gonna fight (boom boom boom)
You're fucking swine
Yeah, yeah, you're fucking swine
Not even worth the time
You're not even worth the time (boom boom boom)
Because a baby with a knife'll
Fucking keep you up at night
When I cry you're gonna see
Gonna riot in the streets (boom boom boom)
You're fucking swine
Yeah, yeah, you're fucking swine
Not even worth the time
But I'll make you worth my time, ha
Ooh, all these cop cars give me anxiety

Ooh, all these killers give me anxiety

Ooh, politicians give me anxiety
