The Stages of Genocide Lyrics by Ash Bricky

2023

[Intro: News samples]
[Reporter] Empty bookshelves at a local middle school
Parents tell News4JAX that teachers and librarians at their kids schools were told to pack up the books for review
[Donald Trump] No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender
A concept that was never heard of, in all of human history nobody has ever heard of this, what's happening today
[Woman] Parental rights does not apply to child abuse
This is clear child abuse, this is the sexual abuse of childrеn
[Man] Banning LGBTQ books isn't going to stop anyone from being gay *applause*
[Rеporter] During the middle of literacy week at Mandarin Middle School all of the books in the library were gone
[Verse 1]
Step one: classification
Categorizes us versus them
Step two: symbolization
Now the victims are identified
Step three: discrimination
Uses the law to strip them of their rights
Step four: dehumanization
Now these people aren't people to me
Yeah they're telling me "people aren't people to me"
Yeah they're screaming "trans people are vermin to me"
Woah
[Verse 2]
Step five: organization
Using the cops to start making a plan
Step six: polarization
They create fear, say "they're grooming our kids"
Step seven: preparation
I think that we all know what this means
Step eight: persecution
Make a list of those who you'll arrest
Make a list of those who you'll arrest
List every trans person you have met
Make a list of those who you'll arrest
List every trans person you have met
[Bridge]
Now pay close attention cause we all know that history repeats
If you think nothing will happen you'll be the next dish in line for the feast
Now pay close attention cause this next step is crucial to do
Once we're force fed their lies those who we once loved will lie with the flies
[Verse 3]
Step nine: extermination
Kill everyone, no one survives
Step nine: extermination
Kill thousands of innocent lives
Step nine: extermination
Murder hundreds and thousands of lives
Step nine: extermination
Nine doesn't limit its boundary lines
Stay armed! Fight back!
Stay armed! Fight back!
[Outro]
Step ten is denial
Now let's pretend that nothing has changed
Step ten is denial
Now let's start over again
