irony. utility. pretext.

algiers

they said it's not enough

just to shoot us down

it's a sound that's systematized

it's a noise just to drown us out

but when your time is come

we'll all be there

just to watch you fall

and then one by one

all the parasites will just fall off

you put your vote in a ballot box

this one's marked undp

inscribe your

tyrant's name in blood

choice is the guillotine

we'll put our faith into afro pop

in a decolonized context

espouse the aesthetes'

contempt for ethos

irony. utility. pretext

but all you can say

embrace primitive man"
