Arón Speer - Capital C Lyrics

(It's something you've gotta have a lot of patience for.
To keep it working)
New ground but the fire's not out
New ground I don't think we scratched it at all
New ground I've been waiting for something
To change
Well
The waiting's done now
Quick question to the ones inside
Quick question to those who haven't moved yet
Do you know who owns the buildings?
Do you know the kind of blood your city takes?
I bet they've got names and addresses
I bet you can make them real scared
But you're gonna have to know your neighbor's name
I bet you're thinkin about it
It's on the tip of my tongue, I swear
See it takes a lot of work
To fight back back back
Takes a lot of work to get around
Yeah it takes a lot of work
To fight back back back
Oh but, it doesn't take a lot of work if you're doing the crushing, baby.
This whole thing's built on the greed and violence.
Greed and violence
The bear essentials,
Greed and Violence.
Cut into the heart of the problem
It's been there for years
It's been there for centuries with a capital C
And yeah every punk band that was ever worth their salt
Named it out loud
Capitalism baby
But the thing that's different about about our moment
Is that there's only a few years left
Before the rich choke us to death
So know your neighbors name
Learn who works the corner store
Learn who you can trust
Let go of the suburbs
We're all bein crushed
And it's a loss that's wide
It's a loss that's mean
But holding hands and learning is the only thing that'll stop this machine
Get off your computer and go outside
Don't you want a better world?
Don't you want to survive?
Have you ever tried to change your city?
Tried to fight this beast?
Long Beach buries bodies
With the hands of police
And nothing is incidental
Nothings on accident
Every year they get more money
While the mayor doesn't do a damn thing
Throwing fundraisers with slumlords
Who let feces come out of walls
Threaten families with guns
Shoot tear gas at a baby girl
Keep those faggots on the run
By registering them as sex offenders
Entrapment in the park
No one was fired
There were no fines
Just a shrug from lbpd
Nothing changes till you learn to love your neighbor
Nothing changes till you reach out to your sides
Nothing changes till you sort out your surroundings
Nothing changes till you look for the least of us
I Worry about your neighbor's bowl before you look at mine
