An Army of Thieves, of Self Freed Slaves

“Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
Yet liberation can’t deny the temptation
And soon becomes the oppressor

Show me a leader who’s fit to lead
Who don’t sew his seed in anything
Wounded enough to breed
Because after all what fun is power
If you can’t act like a rock star?

See me, I’ve been cruel
I’ve been petty and unkind
But I know my own mind
And since it seems clear
There’s no one leading us here
The only thing left it appears
Is to task ourselves to be better each time
Then those before us

We’ll be an army of thieves
Of self-freed slaves
Of mild-mannered maids
We’ll fight with whispers and blades
So get ready, a new day is dawning”

– “The New Wild West” Jewel Kilcher
