Indifference is a luxury
To those on the sidelines and who make the rules
But did you know, the system you adore
Is rigged so that the poor stay poor with no chance of liberty
Ya it's all fucked up
And I don't wanna know what the future holds
But they want me to have no choice
Its all fucked up with these bills that we have to pay
And the others worse off get no sympathy
Punching up and stuck is just reality
And ya,
There's plenty folks out there
That don't even seem to care,
About trying to get back up at all
A lot of them give up and I can't blame them
Just look at the shit situation they’re in, is it a sin?
Incarceration,
Discrimination
Disinformation
Dislocation
You make a choice
With what your given
Now if you were them, what would you do then?
We're all fucked up
For letting this be reality
Is it the governmental absence of human decency
Ya its all fucked up with the bills they pay
And the others left behind are stuck in drudgery
Staying blind to this is our fucked up luxury
If i weren't so lucky with the life I got
Who knows if I'd ever even get a shot
My friend I walking down the street met a homeless man,
Just looking for something to eat, and reaches out his hand
Then my friend said "man, these bums are bumming me out, i don't like it"
And i said "good, now you could
You could do something about it"
So let's go
I don't accept this status quo
There's no formula for life that much we know
If you think that this poverty is their fault
Then we'll do this all on our own
Ya, those who conserve all these ceilings made of glass
Shouldn't dare
Arm those
They've oppressed and opposed
When all they needed was a chance
You turned your back without a glance
Well soon you'll see what true success means.

Root Down Sounds Staten Island, New York
We've been in the ska scene for 15 years, and during that time have had the opportunity to play different roles and learn a lot. With ska showing no signs of stopping, we felt it best to take what we've gathered and give back. With so few labels out there taking new groups, we knew this was what we wanted.. There hasn't been a ska label in NYC since Moon. Let's do this! ... more
