The Prosecution Rests

THE PROSECUTION RESTS:
Perpetuation of crimes,
-decried by the religion you fervently embrace
Fall short, judged by the standards of your own beliefs
False witness for structural, social, financial advancement
Kick out the foundation of society to gain upward mobility
As sick and vile as those who you condemn
Self righteous in your position
Truth is the perception of popular opinion
Manipulation
Predetermined conclusions
Justice is truly blind

Capital Punishment

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:
A pretty word for revenge
Systemic dysfunction plagued with corruption
Moral confusion
Policy of punishment, revenge relabeled justice
No value for life, just a thirst for blood
Age of incandescent enlightenment
Kill the innocent along with the guilty
State sanctioned murder through the death penalty
Selling our soul to maintain control
No evidence of deterrence

There's No Justice

THERE IS NO JUSTICE (there's just us):
I don't believe in justice its a concept full of lies
Rehabilitation not retribution, teach people to live right
Justice can't be served unless the crime's reversed
Ignoring the behavior perpetuates the perverse
Forced incarceration, beaten to submission
Does little to protect the lives of the innocent
The cure, the cause
Failure
Self respect, common sense
An emotional and intellectual connection
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
will leave us all toothless and blind

As One

AS ONE:
We are all on this planet together
We have to take care of each other
A disease in one is a disease to us all
Ignoring the individual will make us all ill

Outside The Paradox

OUTSIDE THE PARADOX:
Don't ignore who we are, perfect and flawed
Buddha and Hitler, a paradox
Life and death, disease and cure
All are one, capable of love and harm
Face the mirror, face the horror
The illusion is the adventure
All the pain we feel, only love is real

Violent Opposition Oakland, California
Started Sept 2013
The foundation is rooted in early earache grind and frank
zappa.
But, west coast hardcore! And, Canadian fastcore! I love it!
Lyrics have mostly been a lot of self help shit, sociopolitical, observations of behavior and culture, what you might expect from a zappa/grind project...
