Lyrics
Business Suits And Combat Boots
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Does history guide you, or do you set out to change it?
Breach not broken
Fuck your skinned-alive designer wear
Fashion shades and salon hair
Heels to help where nature failed
Artificial teeth and nails
The wasp's nest expands
So clap your hands! It's her!
The one black woman who's success you don't credit to Affirmative Action
The way of the future is corporate sponsors raising your kids
Maternal love is nothing compared to what $7 gives
Put in, suck out plastic body parts
It's the ever-growing industry of cosmetic arts!
Bombarded with the idealized shots, dysmorphic, self-destructive plots
(Physical flaws are a mental blank)
(Physical flaws are a mental blank)
So pay your surgeons
It's your parents you should thank
These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind (lest we forget again)
But the border is breached but not broken
Who tries to find the several hundred left behind
When the border is breached but not broken?
Go-existing in a twisted society
Where youth is a crime and wasteful sweat-shops expenditures
Are how luxury is defined
Now the KKK has found a new masquerade
Fuck your self-proclaimed supremacy
You hide your face and your shame!
Identify right and wrong when all fact is merely opinion
You cannot know the sweetness of victory
Without first dwelling in the agony of defeat
These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind (lest we forget again)
But the border is breached but not broken
Who tries (Who tries) to find the several hundred left behind
When the border is breached
The border is breached but not broken?
(Who tries to find) the several hundred left behind again
