I carry history with me I carry hope All the nameless faces before us Let's carry them all I wanna carry the dead Wage war on the palaces You carry judgment and privilege With morals to spend Can't see the grids for the structures You're just one of them Who talk about freedom and progress With a corpse in your mouth You've never tasted the violence That gave us our rights How did you think we got here?
You took our gains for granted You think we stumbled upon them on our way to find ourselves Let's carry the dead Wage war on the palaces Because you know: you'll be judged too What did you fight for, exactly what did you do? Let's get rhetorical without going too far Tell me: who's responsible? You f**ing are Let's carry the dead War on the palaces
