A1. THE CHOICE IS YOURS (a.k.a. AUTONOMY 2)
words and vox by Robert Inhuman, Evolve, Jim Swill
music by Robert Inhuman in Cincinnati and Saint Louis 2009,
remixed from the Evolve beat on the "Resisting The Viral Self" LP

your privilege, quit fronting like it's not, what you gonna do?
(outcide my self...)

the privilege of one will always risk the torture of many
be it paraded on media headlines or far from blind eyes
celebrity does not make a pain's significance
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
xenophobic on each side, your hate is defined by pride
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
I'm not pacified just cos I'm not the one who's next to die
NO WAR CAN BE WON
unless you accept a nation's children as fodder for a gun
that backfires and bloodstains our decisions
it's foreign, it's domestic, the same either way, victims
but am I among these "victims"
when I got a brain in my skull and warm blood in my body
can I really claim I ain't a cell in the system?
can I really claim I ain't a cell in the system?!
when I had the reach to the resources that could stop that gun from firing?
when I had the reach to the resources that could keep my conscience from dying??
when I have access to a solution I call compassion combined with REALLY TRYING???
compassion, sacrifice, that anti-narcissistic style

coca cola advertisement wasting the mind away
a slave labor recognize they sanitize design
this is the real war, restricted information
so control forces can control some more
war for the foreign plunder and greed
defeat the biologic need
corporate famine spread like seed
but it's not over yet
redesign inside of the mind
and thrive outside of that deep regret
and earth humanity push eject
buttons on machines is all that's left
and american hearts they are full of jest
but they do not see how the mirror twists

a lack of action will never ensure your innocence
will you contribute to the U.S. indulgence in a Kitty Genovese scenario multiplied by thousands
will you aid in humanity's imperial legacy
humanity's cannibal lust for any resource classified as exclusive
or satisfying of gluttony no matter how temporary
look at the Earth and every legitimate problem for life on it
what cannot be traced to human decision
why would our decisions to solve these problems be without the very same flaws?

can we afford not to care?
OUTCIDE MY SELF OUTCIDE MY SELF
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
xenophobic on each side, your hate is defined by pride
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
using god as your alibi, you don't speak for me when you lie
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
xenophobic on each side, your hate is defined by pride
your crusade isn't mine, your jihad isn't mine
I'm not pacified just cos I'm not the one who's next to die NO!

"in full force"
...when winning is based on ethnocentric death
in our fucking civilization, based on who is left
after a game called genocide and another familiar one called wealth
burning to death in oil, so a few sociopaths can keep their good health
what could I have access to and would I grab it even if I did?
I have the reach to the resources that could stop that gun from firing
and I have the reach to the resources that could keep my conscience from dying
and I have access to a solution (RIGHT!) I call compassion combined with really
I have the reach to the resources that could stop that gun from firing
and I have the reach to the resources to keep my conscience from dying
and I have access to a solution I call compassion combined with really trying
access to a solution I call compassion combined with really trying...
compassion; self-sacrifice; anti-narcissism
real cide; real death; real change...

your privilege, quit fronting like it's otherwise, how will you use it?
