Fuck it all

Fuck it now

Violence

Fuck your austerity, austerity

Fuck your institutional racism, racism

as policy, as policy

Pain

Fuck your polluted minds, polluted minds

Poisoned water world, water world

The sweet milk of Madonna, no milk for our young

Aphids bloom, fester and consume

Where dust and rot dance with mould

Our mould

Our mould

Violence

Fuck your pointless posturing, pointless posturing

framed as principled wars, principled wars

Fuck your hatred, hatred

Fuck your faux faux altruism, faux faux altruism

Fuck your… your…

Fuck your celebrity glazing, celebrity glazing

Pain

Fuck it all, all

Fuck it now, now

Fuck it all, all
