lyrics

The Circle Has Not Encircled Us

Blind eye
a London eye is far too high
for us to see
I am not seeing
egg yellow
mexican orange
peruvian turquoise
red rubies
pomegranate red
street light green
are missing from the wheel

Round as it is
the circle has not encircled us
We're still waiting
for awards
We're still waiting
for language

Think
Time to close the camps

The tour leader explains to us
it was common for the regular sin
to invest in slavery
common for the regular citizen
to invest in slavery
It was common
comparing the practice
to buying shoes
today
made by child labor
It was common

The London eye
the blind eye
it makes me dizzy
still going around
without saying
Londoneers, jump the ocean
to see the babies incarcerated
modern life slavery
because of their skin and dark eyes
They walked the wrong line

Gold is being earned
by circling quietly for tourists
who escaped the embarassing US fox news
away on vacation
from contested borders
admiring your english accents
blind eye

in London
dogs don't bark
they don't bite
in London
dogs don't speak
