lyrics

No lie, no lie. Rewild Or Die. That's how it's gotta be if we gon' stay alive.
Don't cry, don't cry. We don't need to fight.
We got a couple minor problems but we could rise up.
Mic check one time – everyting irie, right? Turtle Island is a prize, right,
and I love life so I keep smiling wide.
Gaia is the messiah, and we'll die if we can't rewild. That's how it's gotta be.
Let's get us everything we wanted like a shopping spree. We'll never operate
the robbery of monocropping. We'll be gardeners in the forest, practice permaculture. We've forgotten what we've lost like a lobotomy.
I'm tryna talk to the bottom of your memory. Let's de-occupy the colonies.
We put ecology over the economy. Listen to me.

When I kick it, I promise you I don't speak lies.
I give nothing but open honesty each time.
We got a lot of walls to knock down but probably we'll be fine –
if we rewild our lives. Babylon is inescapably violent. That's the main cause of the slavery
we're tryna fix. So y'all go on with y'all debate, straight up,
if we wanna save the world, we need change world wide quick.
That's why I'm training hard, because my body and my mind
gotta both be strong for this renaissance. That's why I practice building fires.
I'm learnin how to track a pack of rabbits down and cook 'em up to eat.
Now y'all calling me awake cause I'm not asleep?
All I do is keep my eye on the price.
And now y'all calling me a snake cause I'm not a sheep. All I'm saying is Rewild Or Die.

Rewild or die. That's how it's gotta be. Let's get us everything we wanted
like a shopping spree. We'll never operate the robbery of monocropping.
We'll be gardeners in the forest, practice permaculture. We've forgotten
what we've lost like a lobotomy. I'm tryna talk to the bottom of your memory.
Let's de-occupy the colonies. We put ecology over the economy. Listen to me.

We get our food from the grocery,
so go and get a garden and a gun and consume more locally.
Ride a bike instead of driving a car.
Run for your life. Play in the yard. We're all shopping at the mall
but often what we bought is the sort of stuff we could have made ourselves.
We're all working for a boss, and all that we want is community.
Look at what we built: a bunch of pyramids.
