lyrics

Hubris
Hubris is a fit word
For today’s demolition of the VRA

One would expect more from an opinion
Striking at the heart of the Nation’s
Of the Nation’s
Signal piece of
Cilvil Rights
Legislation

Nixon v Herndon
Terry v Adams
Smith v Allwright

The tip of the iceberg
An avalanche
The court, the court…
The court ignores that
What’s past is prologue
Like battling a hydra
hydra…
Like throw—
Like throw—
Like throwing

Nixon v Herndon
Terry v Adams
Smith v Allwright
Dallas County
Waller, Shelby, Albany

Like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm
Like throwing away your umbrella because you are not getting wet
Like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm
Like throwing away your umbrella because you are not getting wet

discrimination still exists no one doubts that
ranging from outright intimidation, violence to more subtle forms of deprivations
the court ignores that what’s past is prologue

Like throwing away your umbrella because you are not getting wet
