lyrics

I belong to the Republic of Humankind (edit for song)

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to the moral idealists,
the commercial capital terrorists
and hari-kari constitution clutching
so called freedom fighters
who would so casually
put a bullet through the first
and every other amendment
for the sake of the 2nd,
thus hemorrhaging
and bleeding dry the best
of what’s left of the fractured
building blocks of a society
for the rest of us.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to those who stoke the fires of fear
so as to profit off of the sale
of security to protect the wealth
of the few and perpetuate the on going
glorification of consumer capitalistic greed.
I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to the pursuit of pleasure
in another persons terror,
where human traffickers generate profit
off of the lust of the weekend deviant
by inflicting pain upon the skin
of the backs of the Eastern European women,
these card shufflers of human souls
are simply terrorists that tickle
our pituitary.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to the deniers of equal rights
to all our female partners
around the world.
Point.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to the standard acceptance
of in-crowd logic and consensus
conjured up in the city centers of conformity.


I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to every bus stop billboard
advertising chokehold company
that attempts to sell me something
that I do not need by
sensationalizing sex.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to the jumping on bandwagon
poseur wanna-be pioneers
who burn no path of their own
but catch a ride upon the coattails of
those contributors to independent thought
from coast to coast.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to those who know better
but continue to do worse.
The middle age millionaires
who continue to squeeze
every cent out of the acne
of a bewildered youth.

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to those who continue to build
towers towards the heaven
upon foundations
that are cracked and crazed,
stealing space only to create more waste .

I belong to the Republic of Humankind
that says fuck you,
to those whose ideas of freedom
exist no further than a choice
of twenty different sauces
for their deep fried fucking potatoes.

about

The Irrational Library Haarlem, Netherlands

“A halo on a razor edge, a remix of parallel times, the ludicrous sincerity of rhythm keeping the paces of joy and pain in synch. The Irrational Library’s is that score that settles the score for the under-scored.”
