I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We chose the violent side of things in all
We always have chosen blood and gore above others
I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We walk with silent mouths throughout it all
We believe what we think we saw, it's coming

Unforeseen, the violence of this dream
This nightmare we conceived
The falling of this world we try to kill

Instead these empty words
Fills up the patient's world
We're going for a quick fix, while we serve
While we serve

(With patience we show our worth)

I'll be damned
In the searing flames
We chose the violent side of things again
We always have chosen guns and gold above others
I'll be damned
The claws in us
We walk with blindfold eyes throughout this life
We believe what we think we saw, it's coming

Unforeseen, the violence of this dream
This nightmare we conceived
The falling of this world we try to kill
Instead these empty words
Fills up the patient's world
We're going for a quick fix while we serve

While we serve
While we serve
In addiction of a fiction
While we serve
While we serve
In addiction of a fiction

The fear they plot
Our life as prize
I see the light
Vanishing colors
The wheel of flames
In a cold black sky
I welcome it
And now I die
I have served
I believed in a good deed
I believed we could fixed this
I believed I could find it
I have served
And I've fallen to my knees
And I've begged for my ending
I've believed I could find the meaning

I'm taking it elsewhere
Where I can rest in peace
I'm taking it elsewhere now
I'm taking it elsewhere
Where I can die instead
I'm taking it elsewhere now

I'm dying alone
I'm dying alone
The violence, what the world now prefers
I'm dying alone
I'm dying alone
The violence we served to us all

#Crimethinc: From #Inclusion to #Resistance - Neither Trump’s Trans Ban nor Assimilation, but Total Liberation

2017-07-27

[Excerpt]: "What’s radical about trans students contesting bathroom and gender assignment is the possibilities this opens for all students to contest #authority. If we don’t accept their rules regarding which toilets to use, why should we accept the legitimacy of the system that functions as a school-to-prison pipeline? While we support anything that can reduce the misery of trans kids, we also recognize that trans-inclusive bathroom policies are a safety valve intended to divert student resistance and to bolster the legitimacy of a failing public school system. As with marriage and the military, trans liberation in schools isn’t just a question of easing our inclusion into them. It would demand something more like #dismantling them altogether.

"It’s strategic for defenders of the status quo to re-center the #LGBT rights debate around trans people in the military at this moment. As #transgender, #genderqueer, and #NonBinary communities are appearing in mass media and popular consciousness in unprecedented numbers, an optimist might speculate that US gender relations could come up for renegotiation—along with all the institutions they undergird. What better way to protect those relations and institutions than by reducing the scope of the discussion to the most reactionary formulation possible: integration into the military?

"It’s better for both liberals and conservatives that we stop talking about radically #reconfiguring #HealthCare, #sexuality, #education, the #economy, and numerous other social institutions shot through with #patriarchal norms."
