This is based on an old folk song called Boil 'em cabbage down.
lyrics
C F C G C F CGC
Burn it down to the ground, ground til no one left is bound
The only song that I can sing is burn 'em all to the ground
I'm sick and tired of waiting round for benevolence to impart
Rights aren't gifts given from above they come from our beating hearts
Gender roles are stale and old binaries are for the birds
Stop, you're killing all my friends with your norms and your hateful words
Prisons and police don't make us safe they destroy humanity
We don't need a boss to get things done they just rob us of our dignity
Break into a vacant house and claim it as our own
Why should we be cold and tired just so profits can grow
They say it's for my own good they tell me 'you need us!'
I'll show them the barrel end of my blunderbuss
War and poverty aren't facts of life they're made by the ruling class
Together we can take the bourgie swine and drown them in the past
For trayvon ( http://bit.ly/WUTbTw ) and Marissa ( http://justiceformarissa.blogspot.com/ ) For Milton ( http://bit.ly/N3sqal ) and cece ( http://bit.ly/1jQYHPy )
Someday we'll have justice In this land of the free
My life and yours are forever intertwined
It's not that hard to empathize and just be fucking kind
Burn it down to the ground, ground make that revolt sound
The only hope that we can have is to burn it all to the ground
