about

originally released on August 30, 2019 as a digital single by punk label, Die Laughing Records. I wrote this song out of frustration and anger at witnessing the demise of American culture from being taken over by christofascists hell bent against LGBTQ+, immigrants, Jews, muslims, women, and communities of color

the LadyKillers band project was a response to the militant rise of far right extremism and racism during the Trump era and beyond.

lyrics

Smash (the) Patriarchy

It’s revolution time
So put away your phone
It shall be televised
and streamed across the globe

I swear upon the blood
of all the witches burned
their ashes will arise
and consecrate the purge

Smash, smash, smash the patriarchy
We will burn it down
We will tear it down

The American Taliban
and the Trans and abortion ban
Putting brown kids in cages
Shooting Black men in rages
Raping the Earth for all ages

Smash, smash, smash the patriarchy
We will burn it down, we will tear it down
