1.
the halls of cities always seem indomitable they frighten quiet bludgeon form create all: kids to adults they stole our labor i'll be pissing in my pants poor and old and they won't be held responsible they bombed the sewage, bridges, electric, hospitals and the damns they wrecked some more shit just cause they wanted it on video they killed the innocent, made capital, had dinner at ten and they won't be held responsible i'm white enough to know you get what you deserve, or don't get i can't perceive suspicions that my brothers all travel in their pockets empty, mine are stuffed with winks and good contraband and who'll be held responsible? they ruined families, savings, cities, people, animals, homes they bet against themselves and double-crossed their own clientele they got a trillion dollar handout, then came looking for more and they won't be held responsible they've got my calls and letters recorded since i was born sometimes i say 'hello' or write them but they never write back they've got all kinds of ways to make you think you're the only one and they won't be held responsible they've got all kinds of ways to make you drink the alcohol and i won't be the only one they've got all kinds of ways to make you think you're the only one and i won't be the only one

about

This album was inspired by the Edward Snowden leaks. It features 14 artists, 12 Brooklyn-based. We figured the NSA was listening to our songs' progress along the way - or at least could be listening, and why wouldn't they with songs like these? - and so every day was a listening party for them. To all our conversations, communications, locations, gyrations and good vibrations. If they wanted something to listen to, all they had to do was ask! Sing with us, dance with us, laugh and cry and wonder why with us. Hey Kids, what do you say? We don't want to live - in a surveillance state.  

Brooklyn For Peace Mission Statement
Brooklyn For Peace is committed to eliminating war and the social injustices that are its causes. Through active education on international and domestic issues, we empower our community and ourselves to be a productive force in securing a peaceful future for generations to come by building a world where peace is the first response to conflict. We promote U.S. policies based not on coercion and violence, but on peace, justice, democratic advancement, human rights and respect for international law.
