about

A sneak preview track from the forthcoming album, "Songs for the Struggle".

lyrics

Bitter man sing your song, tell your story all day long
Of the time that you were wronged and the way the world should be
There's a poison in your rhymes, in the rhythm of your welt-like lines
Draws scars across all minds, your venom begs belief

Bitter man what did you do, tell me what went wrong, what happened to you?
I want to know, you tell me why you talk the way you do.
Talk about the books you've read, tear the whole world into shreds
Violence is a way with words when you talk the way you do.

Velvet words and serpent's tongue, were the things that made you strong
Though your cover can't last long because you are the thing thing you are
You turn freedom on its head and put a white man there instead
Don't you know your ideas dead; it didn't get that far

Bitter man what did you do, tell me what went wrong, what happened to you?
I want to know, you tell me why you talk the way you do
Talk about the books you've read, tear the whole world into shreds
Violence is a way with words when you talk the way you do
