Armed Minorities are Harder to Oppress
from Vademecum—Vadetecum by Profestriga
lyrics
Remember when the NRA
Wanted to take their guns away?
Never forget just how afraid
Those in power can be made,
By those they once thought weak
Marching through the street,
With their finger on a trigger,
And ready to bleed
For a cause
That they know to be just and right!
Now raise your barrels to the air
And make them fear the sight!
Because you know that!
(Know that!)
They know that!
(Know that!)
Armed minorities are harder to oppress,
And have the fucking power to demand the redress
Owed for the wrongs that plague us
and for all the pains and stress
Made by these motherfuckers—the architects
Of the all the horrid scars marring our minds and flesh!
Now confront them with their crimes—force them to confess!
Give them no peace of mind—let them never find rest!
Build an altar of their bones,
Lest they ever forget
Why!
Why!
Why!
(Small and weak—that’s how you like it isn’t it?
Small and weak—that’s how you like it isn’t it?
Small and weak—
Small and weak—
Small and weak—
This time small and weak has got a gun.)
Our black and brown allies—
They once showed us the way!
They stood upon the capital,
Looking ready for a fray,
Demanding the rights owed them—
They refused to beg!
So the message is clear—
We knew they were afraid!
So now I speak to my siblings—
To the trannies and the gays—
And to all the queer folk working as wage slaves:
Don’t back down now; don’ t back down today!
Stand up and be heard—heard when you say,
Armed minorities are harder to oppress,
And have the fucking power to demand the redress
Owed for the wrongs that plague us
and for all the pains and stress
Made by these motherfuckers—the architects
Of the all the horrid scars marring our minds and flesh!
Now confront them with their crimes and force them to confess!
Give them no peace of mind—let them never find rest!
Build an altar of their bones,
Lest they ever forget
Why!
Don’t forget, don’t you ever forget.
No, don’t forget, don’t you ever forget.
Don’t forget, no, don’t forget.
No, never forget; never let them forget.
Don’t forget, don’t you ever forget.
No, don’t forget, don’t you fucking forget.
Don’t forget, don’t you ever forget.
No, don’t forget. Never let them forget.
Don’t forget, don’t, don’t you forget.
Never, never forget, never let them forget.
Don’t forget, don’t you fucking forget.
No don’t forget, never let them forget.
