BLACK DUST BLUES Lyrics by Moor Mother

Jazz Codes (Deluxe Edition)

2023

[Verse]
Friday, we heard about the war
World War III
We pulled out our nuclear arms and hugged eachother, not wanting to let go
Saturday, a rocket hit the side of the green zone
Five thousand American troops already in Iraq
Sixty thousand in the region, fourteen thousand added since May
Three thousand American troops to Kuwait
The 82nd Airborne Division 1st Brigade Combat
The USS Harry S. Truman
Currently in the Gulf of the Oman
With hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles
Still looking for weapons of mass destruction
Still wiping away the trail of tears
Still without heart, eyes, humanity
Still death agents
Still rabid
Still bleeding from thе eyes
Still reptilian
Still gеnerals of genocide
A prayer for us lost at war
Fugitives and neighbors, children screaming for justice
Mothers throwing firebombs
Fathers crying tears of abuse
Before we let go
Before we become intoxicated in prayer, let us state the facts
Humanity is a dead fish, deep fried, wrapped in today's burning forest headline
Sold for thirty-five just like our life
Dead, all full of plastic
