Fugue State Fair - The People's Republic of Austin

Steaming hot tea, papers to grade
A professor alone scrolling my phone
There's violence out on the street
I think that it's kind of neat
Surely birthing a pure new world
Is worth what it's costing
For the People's Republic of Austin

I once wrote that they are wrong
Now I know they are strong
To build a better world for all
Some people have to fall
Revolution is the cake
and justice is the frosting
In the People's Republic of Austin

The people they will rise, like they always should
It seems dark now
But I think it's the start of something good

In the back of a van, black bag over my head
The tribunal found my blue notebook
And I know what they read
Yes that's something I did write
Before the people showed me the light

We must be willing to back in purity's oven
Revolution is the cake and justice is the frosting
In the People's Republic of Austin

I once wrote that they are wrong
Now I know they are strong
To build a better world for all
Some people have to fall
Revolution is the cake
and justice is the frosting
In the People's Republic of Austin
