Names Change Winning the Election lyrics
Winning the Election
Names Change
GENRE Hold your breath, stand on all ten toes
Cover your mouth, breathe in through your nose
You’re fine you can die, get back to work
You know your life has a dollar worth, but
Safety nets and masks already torn
The broken bodies are already worn
Wealth and health there’s always a tension
But you don’t count the dead when you’re
Winning the election
Sleeping on floors and sleeping in bunks
Sardine prisoners packed like a trunk
They’re diseased and in need
But they’re stuffеd away
Human flesh mixed with concretе
And set ablaze, but
Parole boards closed, they locked the door
Families are waiting, can’t wait no more
They’re gonna die here, is that our intention?
Dead prisoners don’t count when you’re
Winning the election
Tanks on the street and bullets in the air
People with signs still show that they care
If you make a sudden move, you might get shot
If you have enough money, then freedom can be bought
But your life’s in danger, you can’t be quiet
When black people are there, they call it a riot
The volume of your voice decided by complexion
But you don’t count black lives when you’re
Winning the election
Cover your mouth, breathe in through your nose
You’re fine you can die, get back to work
You know your life has a dollar worth, but
Safety nets and masks already torn
The broken bodies are already worn
Wealth and health there’s always a tension
But you don’t count the dead when you’re
Winning the election
Sleeping on floors and sleeping in bunks
Sardine prisoners packed like a trunk
They’re diseased and in need
But they’re stuffеd away
Human flesh mixed with concretе
And set ablaze, but
Parole boards closed, they locked the door
Families are waiting, can’t wait no more
They’re gonna die here, is that our intention?
Dead prisoners don’t count when you’re
Winning the election
Tanks on the street and bullets in the air
People with signs still show that they care
If you make a sudden move, you might get shot
If you have enough money, then freedom can be bought
But your life’s in danger, you can’t be quiet
When black people are there, they call it a riot
The volume of your voice decided by complexion
But you don’t count black lives when you’re
Winning the election
