INSURGENTS RISE: a DMV anthem

sycophantic miscreants
oligarchic porno pimps
running wild and flying free
gentrifying the DMV

developers run this town
politicians sell us out
wasting public property
selling out the DMV

corruption reeks in the wilson building
seeping through and all consuming
the people’s voices drowned by millions
raised to keep the racket moving

DMV INSURGENCY
build it now and build it deep
in every ward on every block
bottom rail back on top

winning home rule
took an urban rebellion
STATEHOOD fighters pioneering
organizing and advocating
democracy for chocolate city

now the future ain’t super clear
but take a clue from TAHRIR SQUARE
revolt like an egyptian baby
seize the time-go hard and crazy

building power in the DMV
rebuilding real community
we’ll tax the rich and make them pay
we’ll organize and have our day

revolt like an egyptian baby
DC is a union town
raise your fist-go hard and crazy
INSURGENTS RISE-lets hold it down
