This song is about police treatment of Indigenous persons and how it reflects the history of colonialism, though it also brodly applies to the general treatment of the poor, people of colour and those with mental disabilities.
lyrics
Ashtray serving plate on your nameday.
Coerced confession conflated from a mayday.
Happy birthday asshole, here's a 5x9.
Self done, done selfish. Do your time.
We all know who drew first blood,
and it won't be the last time.
Loathe leaders who don't like to lead
its that sound- not what you say.
I'm prey, you're prey visiting for the weekend.
Your face in the blank space, what did you say?
'I saw it! I saw it! I did it!'
so you say, so says me.
I'm a parrot wheres my cracker, don't forgive me.
Don't forget me.
