“ACAB”, a new collaboration with Nadya Tolokonnikova of famed Russian punk group/art collective, Pussy Riot, is proof that Push Push cannot be boxed in to any specific genre, as her seething delivery accompanies furious riffs and breakneck, grinding rhythms (a la Melt Banana), a vehement response to the racial injustice and police brutality that plagues our country.
They say I'm too honest like that's a complaint
Like I'm not a breath of fresh air in a city of fakes
Don't care for your band unless you're screaming my name
Bow your heads in prayer babe, haven't you heard I'm a saint
Or grow a fuckin' pair and get the fuck out my face
Wait a minute little darlin' you don't have the range, shame
a death sentence in time and space
What's red flags to bulls if it's bulls on parade?
Hey, what if the hand I wanna hold is a weapon?
I've been told death is the direction that I'm headed
If I don't cut the shit, if I'm not blunt with it
I could end up just like you, dead and pathetic
Defending a predictable ending, discredit me
10am, all of out cards this is poetically shifting
Greek tragedy, dipped in hell
Screaming ACAB, stay mad, 1312
Let a cop look both fuckin' ways before he cross me
and always look both ways in case a cop sees
Let a cop look both fuckin' ways before he cross me
and always look both ways in case a cop sees
Food is only for the rich
Health is only for the rich
Peace is only for the rich
Life is is only for the rich
Police will kill us all
Terrorize young lives sick pigs in fancy dress
You think I hyperbolize shit cause I'm anti them
Yes I'm anti them, yes we want revenge
Defund these motherfuckers fund dissent
Tongue tied at your grave I lay babies breath
One nine, you lay pearls around your lady's neck
Half blind from the liquor next I'm hades' pet
Can't lie to a stripper if she paid his rent
Yes, yes I've been just as bad,
This one motherfucker owes me 80 racks,
or a landlord in handcuffs getting gravely stabbed,
(my bad that last one's a dream I had)
When the cops and the klan go hand in hand
What's bullets to a boy if brave he stands
as my devils get fatter and fatter
Remember that I'm nomadic
Remember me, I spit daggers
