We wanted space
You wouldn’t give us a crumb
Greeds a fuse
On this blue fucking bomb
They figured out
What we knew all along
The game is rigged
And we’re just the pawns
Big difference
Between
Wants and Needs
Big difference
Between
War and Peace
Jam it all
With your Double speak
I WANT TO BELIEVE
HELP ME BELIEVE
W-A-N-T
N-E-E-D
(Tick Tick Tick Tick)
W-A-N-T
N-E-E-D
(Tick Tick Tick Tick)
I WANT TO SEE
GOOD IN EVERYTHING
YOU WON'T LET ME
I WANT TO FEEL
LOVE IN EVERYTHING
YOU JUST TEST ME
I WANT TO GROW
HOPE IN EVERYONE
YOU JUST FUCK ME
I WANT TO CRY
BUT YOU DONT GIVE ME THE TIME
SO I TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE BACK WHATS MINE
They figured out
What we knew all along
got by on privilege
And privilege alone
Plain as paper
Made to the mold
Dumb motherfuckers
Do as you're told
Stupid ass
Plain ass
Motherfucker
Xenophobic
White bread
Suckers
Do as you're told

Wishing Well

How many prayers do I have to give?
All mine were answered
Ain’t that a bitch?
Tell ‘em meet you at the wishing well
toss em in like a coin you found
Tossed Out
(Tossed Out)
Walked out
(Walked Out)
Motherfucking
(Fuck)
Lost out
(Damn)
Getting the Fucking Fuck Out
You say it’s “We” but it’s little “i’s”
Lowercase people on ant-piles
Dance off the shame
Shake off the lames
Make peace with the doubt
out of pocket
out of step
out of bounds
Let Go
Of the dogma
Of the Kharma
Of the stress
A mantra
Of not knowing
What comes next
It
All
Takes
So
Long
Took the time
To unfuck my brain
(Give me some grace)
Ugly Truth
Not a pretty pain
(Go fix your shit)
Just needed
Bit of time away
(A quiet place)
Don't need your "love"
Don't want your "grace"
I've always felt so fucking out of place
A black sheep amidst the herd
Never willing to accept the "Living Word"
A thorny branch on the vine
You cut it down for stepping out of line
I've been reborn I've been washed clean
How come you never accepted me?

Model Boy

I’m a stone
I’m a weight
Let me sink
Another spot at the bottom of the sea
In America drowning in the dream
Would my ancestors be proud of me?
Bastard son
Momma tried
All I know
Model boy
Prototype
Can he cope?
Hold the stress till you explode
Till you explode
Till you explode
Crush Crush Crush
Squeeze Squeeze me
Into shape
See how long the pressure takes
Every day’s a Hail Mary
A try for grace
A firework in a liminal space
Muffled cry bit-crushed in a post-digital age
Get me the fuckin fuck out of here

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think.

I love the musical range here. From serene jazz to hardcore that borders on powerviolence. They kill live too.
