I
I've gotta kill
Kill all the men today
Oh I've gotta kill
Kill 'em with kindness
That's what the white man said, oh
That's what the white man said
Yeah, I know white men getting away with murder
(3-4 women a day in the US alone)
Yeah, I know white men getting away with genocide
(1-3 million Muslims in China right now)
Yeah, I know white men getting away with organ harvesting, and sex trafficking, and rape of children
(It's gotta stop)
Yeah, I know, but kill 'em with kindness
(Just kill 'em with kindness)
Yeah, RAINBOW, you're missing the point
(You don't know what you're talking about)
If we just had more compassion
(If we just had more compassion)
Maybe they would stop raping and killing our women and children stop killing eachother we all could die happy
If we just had more compassion
(If we just had more compassion)
Maybe China would release the Uyghurs they torture and mutilate with worldwide impunity 'cause men can do anything
If we just had more compassion
(If we just had more compassion)
Maybe millions of women would not die when pregnant in first world countries without reproductive healthcare
If we just had more compassion
Oh, you're missing the point
If we just had more compassion
(If we just had more compassion)
If we just had more compassion
(If we just had more compassion)
If we weren't so anti-white man
(If we just had more compassion)
If we'd say this never happened
(If we just had more compassion)
Then white men could sleep well tonight
So I've gotta kill
Kill all the men today
Kill 'em with kindness
That's what the white man said

Never been so alone before
But I don't mind
Never stayed so at home before
And I don't mind
I was sick of wastin' time
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
And you're free to change my mind
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Ooh, tell me one time
You ain't been let down
Build up your fantasy
Now he's wearin' your crown
Oh, but he's not what he seems
And the police arrive on the scene
All the neighbors say you must be outta your mind
Oh, when hope springs eternal
Wishin' he would come back to
Who he used to be sometime
Who he used to be sometime
I was sick of not speakin' my mind
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
And it ain't for lack o' tryin'
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
'Cause it's like this...
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to all the earth
And the men do all the killin'
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to
The women give birth to all the earth
And the men do all the killin'
It's been this way for such a long time
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find
And it seems to me a cruel design
Lord, a good man is hard to find
Lord, a good man is hard to find

Luna Moth [Explicit]

Ever been overcome by a knowin’ you were gonna die?
I mean, not the kind of general understanding of Mortality but an impending sense of sure doom
That’s the way I feel when I think about you
God dammit I was so sure there were none left
God dammit I was sure you were all rapists or just stupid fucking assholes
God dammit I was so sure there were none left
But
Makes me sick you’re leavin’
Makes me sicker I want you to stay
Makes me sick to want anything
Oh but I can’t say
Then you’ll know I got soft parts
I’ll be a Luna moth in the road
And I’ll know you got soft parts
And you’ll be a Luna moth in the road
God dammit I was so sure
There were none left
Your jewels flowing out and your jewels flowing out and encrust upon your skin
Your jewels flowing out and your jewels flowing out and encrust upon your skin
Your jewels flowing out and your jewels flowing out and encrust upon your skin
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine
I will put you in my shrine

Every night, it's just the same
Them holler ghosts, they know your name
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin fer you
It ain't no coyote
Just me
Ain't no coyote
Just me
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin fer you
Like an angel you came to me
Just a-pulsin' above the trees
Oh, like an angel you came to me
Outta the woods
I remember by the lake
I remember everything
Oh, I remember by the lake
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin fer you
I'm callin' fer you
And it falls on barren branches of the oldest trees
I beg them
"Please return to me
the silent mind that lies all buried deep
amid desires for a dream that couldn't be"
Every night, it's just the same
Them holler ghosts, they know your name
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin' fer you
Ooh, ooh
I'm callin fer you

I heard that you awarded yourself best man of the year
Well, that was news to me, was news and I've got news for you dear
Your patronizing, patriarchal, sexist, racist ways are gonna die today
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
And you are welcome for the way it will improve the USA
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
This will not hurt a bit, I promise it is written in the Constitution
You're pretty sure, you're damn sure ya never done nothin' wrong
And no one's perfect, that's the tune of your half-assed redemption song
And I'll be damned if I have ever seen you afford the same relief
To someone different in gender or skin color from you, you fuckin' creep
What the fuck should we do? Oh yeah
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
And you are welcome for the way it will improve the USA
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
This will not hurt a bit, I promise it is written in the Constitution
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
They all deserve it and you know it, though I wish it weren't this way
I'm gonna kill, gonna kill, kill all the men today
This will not hurt a bit, I promise it is written in the Constitution
'Cause the women give birth to the earth, and the men do all, the men do all the killin'
The women give birth to the earth, and the men do all the men do all the, all the killin'
Until now, the women give birth to the earth, and the men, the men, the men, the men do all the killin'
Until now, the women give birth to the earth, and the men, the men, the men, the men do all the killin'
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?

Leeches

Not that anyone
Asked my opinion
But from here
It would appear
That you fear
More than leeches
More than speeches
Or not reachin' ya dreams
Ya fear succeedin'
And bein'
Bein' loved
'Cause I
I can't find you when I need you
And I'm
Sick of watchin' you write
Songs about girls that leave you
'Cause I would never
And then you never
Release them
And I
I can't find you when I need you
Oh, you speak in italics
Your actions seem so empty
If I speak in italics
Would you finally hear me?
So, let's speak in italics
Lean right into the future
Where you live up to your talent
And I'm not afraid to lose ya
Not that anyone would blame you
Not that anyone could care
Just a couple of young, star-crossed lovers
Writin' songs to kill
Song to kill...
Not that anyone
Asked my opinion
But from here
It would appear
That you fear
More than leeches
More than speeches
Or not reachin' ya dreams
Ya fear succeedin'
And bein'
Bein' loved
