KILL 'EM DEAD (Live in the Studio)

about

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE GOING DIRECTLY TO THE BRIGID ALLIANCE.

I wrote this song during the Kavanaugh trials a few years ago. As I followed along, raging, I spoke to lots of friends of mine who had sexual traumas in their pasts. Through these conversations I had in tandem with the trial, a suppressed memory surfaced of my own experience with the like. I sat down and wrote a violent response to my memory. My band and I always performed it at our shows, and people would always come to me afterward with their own stories, thanking me for the moment of fury they may not have been able to have yet. The fact that Kavanaugh is part of the conversation around my bodily autonomy at this moment in history, years after that trial, is despicable and embarrassing- just another shining example of lack of accountability in America. So I got f*cking mad again when I heard about the possible overturning of Roe, and decided that now was the time to release a very wild, live studio version of the song, and donate every cent to an abortion fund that pays for travel expenses for those who have to leave their state to get a safe abortion.

lyrics

Lyrics:

We’ve got bones to pick with you dear
Bad
We’ve got horrors from our younger years
Bad

We’re just trying to wage a war I guess
Got some things that we need to be addressed
Say goodbye to the star next to your name
You can run but you can’t hide

Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
I got rage with it
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Run but you can’t hide

Tales of harmless interactions
Bad

Tales of consent by attraction
Bad

We’re just trying to wage a war I guess
Got some things that we need to be addressed
Say goodbye to the star next to your name
You can run but you can’t hide

Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
I got rage with it
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Run but you can’t hide

We’re just trying to wage a war I guess
Got some things that we need to be addressed
Say goodbye to the star next to your name
You can run but you can’t hide

Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
I got rage with it
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
Kill ‘em dead
F*ckin bodies in the hallway
Run but you can’t hide
