tear gas jenny - sly desilva lyrics

[intro]
“hey guys we’re in the capitol hill neighborhood of seattle right now
i don’t know if you can hear me
but we have have police now advancing on protesters”
“f*ck! f*ck!”
“oh my gosh i’m running, i’m running!”
“how long do you seattle and those few blocks looks like this?”
“i don’t know, we could have the summer of love”

[hook]
tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas (t*t)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)
(the use of force must be rare
it must be necessary and it must be proportional)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)

[post*hook]
“i am captain allen of the seattle police department
i am now issuing a public safety order to disperse”

[verse 1]
(heh)
in seattle where we redline zones
so there’s more black lives matter signs than black folks
where the affluent liberals gon’ tell you “vote”
but the democratic mayor keep her foot on your throat (heh)
it’s jenny durkan that’s leadin’ this f*ckin’ circus
sold out the city, so that bezos could purchase it
accelerated gentrification
forced you out your home so the rich transplants could take it
in a city where it always rains but you don’t need an umbrella
‘less the cops got the bear mace pointed and ready to spray (spray)
flashbang grenades
blast b*lls, the cops aim ‘em right at your face
this is every day (every day!)
pigs on parade
circle the block, sirens, hoppin’ out for the violence
protect and serve? protect who?
call it justice when they crush the poor under they boots
meanwhile the cop that k!lled charleena lyles still ridin’ ‘round the city
two day suspension for equipment violation
jason anderson left his taser at home
now charleena’s four kids ain’t got no f*ckin’ mom
people fed up and the precinct bricked up
protests picked up so the police cliqued up
they block the exits, give the dispersal orders
when you trapped, kettled, can’t leave
they hit you with the…
[hook]
tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas (t*t)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)

[verse 2]
jenny durkan is workin’ the waterworks for the cameras
sayin’ all the right words, but is worthless with actions
her, ted wheeler, lori lightfoot too
you know democrats: all talk, no do
(we have a system built on systemic racism)
no kidding, jenny, that system is you
all you know is the tear gas, baton and the boot
protect the rich corporate interests that donated to you (hah)
vetoed a tax but the left the cops unfettered
jenny, you make the s*x offender mayor look better (hahaha)
shout out to ed murray
jenny got the pedophile endors*m*nt and now she run the city (yeah)
a former us attorney
let the banks off the hook but gave activists five months solitary
our first lesbian mayor (so progressive!)
corporate careerist, using force to suppress protests
the type celebrate the stonewall riots
then gas the g*y district on the first day of pride (heh)
jackboots on the rainbow crosswalks
cap hill covered in this chemical mixed fog
street mural that say “black lives matter”
cops beat the protesters right on top of the letters
every night for a week, all the scared little piggies
teargassed the densest residential blocks in the city
it’s just collateral damage for them neighborhood cops
but jenny only wanna talk about violence at chop
well, let’s talk, those kids got shot
‘cause of this dangerous situation created by your cops
spent a week provoking violence then abandoned east precinct
made a whole neighborhood into a power vaccuum
chief says it wasn’t her, and you say it wasn’t you
so who gave the order to make the precinct move?
‘cause if it really wasn’t her, and it really wasn’t you
then who’s really in control here jenny?
who?
[hook]
tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas (t*t)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)

[verse 3]
you murdered them kids, jenny, that blood’s on you
you know chop was a setup by your boys in the blue
terror and paranoia from the informants and spooks
sowed seeds for the violence, don’t act surprised when they bloom
law enforcement, your first resort and the second
status quo, at all costs to be protected (yeah)
civil rights protests is met with weapons
while you on cnn talkin’ ‘bout the next election
you can fool chris cuomo but you can’t fool the people
grandstand ‘bout trump for the east coast liberals (heh)
say you wanna keep the feds out your streets
but his goons act the same as seattle police (hmmm)
authoritarian law and order, there’s more of it…
and now they got a taste for it…
‘cause, funny thing about the tear gas
once it’s out the canister, you can’t just put it back
fascism dispersed, rogue police
mike solan’s pro’ly on the phone with feds as we speak
and dhs been waitin’ to bring the heat
so mike got his boys instigatin’ riots in the street
now they can’t seem to answer 911
but got a small army guardin’ the police union
they wanna scare, panic, make mo’ danger
puttin’ fake terror threats on the police scanner (group of the proud boys…)
public safety’s a protection racket
while lorenzo died they played riot gear dress*up
face it, jenny, they just do what they like (heh)
you banned tear gas, they use it the next night
you’ve unleashed this beast you can’t control and you know it
every time you get on tv and lie, you show it
when the council tries to pass a bill, you gots to veto it
‘cause your puppetmasters make you dance a dance that they’ve chosen
stuck between a rock and a hard place, it’s certain
this mayor can’t handle the moral leadership burden
the city hurtin’, trump got the feds lurkin’
but seattle’s biggest problem? (hm)
jenny durkan
[hook]
tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas (t*t)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)
(the right to challenge government when it’s wrong
is our most fundamental constitutional right)
it’s jenny with the tear gas
t*tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(we could have the summer of love)

[post*hook]
“disperse now!”

[outro]
hi, jenny
