lyrics

Here we stand yet again at the intersection of survival and trying to give a shit
As the state surrounds us, with every step we take we trip another snake in the grass
Abusive monsters within the movement always seem to find champions
amongst the powerful men who happen to look just like them

I tell ya boy you gotta kill the cop inside your head before we're gonna show
Up until that point we'll be hiding out sticking to those we trust and know
Another boring class reductionist dinosaur hoarding social capital
only going to bat for sociopaths and assholes

And I say no!
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
Then have to work with you!
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
Then march next to you!

No surprise that oppressive dynamics exist just as much within as they do without
If you dare to speak up prepare then to be ostracized, to be forced out
by those whose idea of revolution begins and ends with the white male working class
As a parting gift throw a couple bricks through the glass

I tell ya boy you gotta kill the cop inside your head before we're gonna show
Up until that point we'll be hiding out sticking to those we trust and know
Another boring class reductionist dinosaur hoarding social capital
only going to bat for sociopaths and assholes

And I say no!
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
Then have to work with you!
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
I'd rather go it alone
Then march next to you!
No! I'd rather go it alone!
No! I'd rather go it alone!
No! Rather go it alone then have to work with you!
