Throw Down Lyrics by Peter Oren

Anthropocene

2017

Make your grandkids proud
It’s time to throw down
Tell me are you with we
It’s time to get busy

Tonight
You might wear a helmet
Tonight
You might wear a mask

Fuck the law if I ain’t got a say in it
Politics is just staking your side on
Either side of a rift
While the continent’s adrift—ain’t no way to jump ship

I don’t know what it’ll take
I only know it can’t wait
Despite power, money, and lies
The truth it don’t hide

Tonight
You might wear a helmet
Tonight
You might wear a mask
Tonight
Maalox and molotovs
Tonight
We’re taking for ourselves a stand

But how long
How long
How long
Will we wait for change?

How long
How long
How long
Will we wait in vain?

Make your grandkids proud
It’s time to throw down
Tell me are you with we
It’s time to get busy
