I was noodling around figuring out a Leonard Cohen song, when I came across the riff in this song. It's about one of the BLM leaders in the UK. Written before she herself was gunned down.

And so to the future
What lies have you told?
What weapons were carried?
What sword did you hold?
And if on your mission
The patriots flee
You were never convincing
At least not to me.
You say you want change
but I think you want war
You crave to be equal
We know you want more
Oh Sacha!
What have you done
Pretend you want peace
while you're pointing your gun.
As it unravels
What song will you sing?
What lessons we're learning!
What hate will you bring?
And in your confess'nal
they kneel on the ground
craving forgiveness
for the sins that you found
Our statues are defaced
Our culture decried
a knife in the gut
for the sake of your pride
Oh Sacha!
What have you done
Pretend you want peace
while you're pointing your gun.
Your riots are peaceful
The media obey
The forces of order
will just look away
And if in the process
a few men get hurt
you'll say it was worth it
The truth you pervert
Now in your vision
of virtue unbound
you cling to the lifeboat
as its going down
