lyrics

In 1908 tensions mounted within the state. South of the boundary rebel actions surmounting to actualize now intimidate. The threat of insurgence, a flood of tide movements, struck fear in the eyes of the law sufficient to influence physical movements of political offices. Petitions signed in forth actions to pack up ox carts with documents and establish the center of their sovereignty, to maintain their hierarchy. This town was named after a man who not only brought law to the land but also did his best to see its just demand to take a stand, lend his hand and, transcend notions of his place and time. But the courtesy he offered men of other races was not inclined to benefit the needs of corporate colonial gentrification. Take me to the place where the strip malls grow. These streets that we live in were once orchards of citrus groves. Some are still there and some are not. Some are buildings, homes, and parking lots. How can these streets that we live in be called home? These streets that we live in, the cities we live in, the lives that we’re livin’, the things that we’re given. These streets that we live in were once orchards of citrus groves. These dingy fields evoke the thought. Tombstones of a local juggernaut... not.
