    Proceeds from cassettes go to Critical Resistance in Portland, OR. "Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe. We believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what really make our communities secure. As such, our work is part of global struggles against inequality and powerlessness. The success of the movement requires that it reflect communities most affected by the PIC. Because we seek to abolish the PIC, we cannot support any work that extends its life or scope."

lyrics

Ready Yr Not:

are you ready for me
can you look me in the mirror and say
thats who i wanna be
thats who you know you are
you ready for me
to love and respect me
to honor me and sanction me
with your benefit of doubt
you see i might be sweating
a little blood
you see i might be bleeding
a little mud
you see that i seem stubborn
maybe a little pissed
cause im the only one
who isn’t done
reminding what you missed

every now and then
i turn my head to you asking
are you ready now
no youre not you never will
(dont give a fuck at all)

we’re all waiting here for you
to put on your boots and catch up
we’re all waiting at the finish line
the race is over and we’ve all gone home
we know
you just won’t be ready
for a while
why arent you ready yet
its the 21st century
should’ve been ready in the eighties
when it could’ve really counted
why do i act surprised
when folks just grow themselves more feet to drag
or axes to just lop them at the ankles
yet how am i so hopeful
i guess im just desperate
and have been for a really long time
i just keep it secret
you see that i seem stubborn
maybe a little pissed
cause im the only one
who isn’t done
reminding what you missed

i know yr ready for me
i know you can look me in the mirror and say
thats who i wanna be
thats who you know you are
you ready for me
do you got a friend to help you choose a wardrobe for the real you
ready to be scared every day

are you ready for truth to hit you
are you ready for making friends to be much harder than it used to
let’s be afraid together
but let’s not just submit nor surrender
lets not harden the heart
but the skeleton

when all your favorite stans are gone
who will you have to lean your speaker on if were not here
