[00:0.37]Violence - Parquet Courts
[00:1.1]Composer:Austin Brown&Andrew Savage&Sean Yeaton&Max Savage
[00:13.02]Violence is the fruit of unreached understanding
[00:15.71]That flower from the lips of scoundrels
[00:18.3]It is a forest so dense and rooted in our past
[00:21.26]It tempts us to become lost in its darkness
[00:24.11]And stinks like the piss test you were forced to take
[00:26.72]Just before you were told that you didn't meet
[00:28.78]The standards of integrity that this organization strives to maintain
[00:33.65]Why are there no folk songs about ATM machines
[00:36.05]That produce the likeness of the blazer of the trail of tears
[00:38.9]Issuing overdraft fees from beyond the grave
[00:41.79]Prison TV shows in an endless queue
[00:44.02]Containing the robust nourishment of a commissary
[00:47.1]This is why we cannot afford to close an open casket
[00:49.97]You protect no one by obscuring the mirror
[00:52.07]That reflects our own problematic reality
[00:54.64]Allow me to ponder the role I play
[00:56.64]In this pornographic spectacle of black death
[00:59.2]At once a solution and a problem
[01:03.32]A cause an effect a rejoice a regret
[01:07.17]Violence is daily life
[01:11.73]A promise a pact that the world never kept
[01:16.6]Violence is daily life
[01:19.9]A cause an effect a rejoice a regret
[01:24.35]Violence is daily life
[01:28.77]A promise a pact that the world never kept
[01:32.98]Violence is daily life
[01:46.63]Violence is daily life
[01:51.58]Violence happens every day
[01:55.53]It's hard to get used to getting used to violence
[01:89.32]Savage is my name because savage is how I feel
[01:93.73]When the radio wakes me up with the words suspected gunman
[01:99.32]My name is a warning for the acts you are about to witness
[02:04.3]Which contain images that some viewers may find disturbing
[02:09.55]My name belongs to us all
[02:12.]So if they ask for yours give them mine
[02:14.98]My name is a threat
[02:19.58]Riot is an unfinished grave that was dug to deposit undepleted anger
[02:25.85]Like barrels of uranium leaking into something sacred
[02:31.48]It is a word to use to delegitimize your unrest
[02:36.22]And to make your resistance into an overreaction
[02:41.03]The pink tube of paint called flesh
[02:44.03]Used in portraits of chairmen of boards and
[02:47.98]Men who clean up streets named after those who fought
[02:52.23]For erasing the lives they now claim to protect
[02:58.92]What is an up and coming neighborhood and where is it coming from
[02:66.42]A cause an effect a rejoice a regret
[02:70.58]Violence is daily life
[02:74.83]A promise a pact that the world never kept
[02:79.33]Violence is daily life
[02:83.28]A cause an effect a rejoice a regret
[02:87.62]Violence is daily life
[02:91.5]A promise a pact that the world never kept
[02:96.77]Violence is daily life
[02:99.8]Violence is daily life
