about

Lines is about racism, classism and the ways the have's keep the have-less in check. It's the oldest trick in the book, divide and conquer. I vote we stop being divided.

lyrics

All I see when I’m walkin’ down the street
​People everywhere just the same as you and me
Thinkin’ for themselves and they’re doin what they can
​They love their families, ever since the world began

Those Lines​​ They just made up a new distraction
Those Lines​​ Yeah they demand that we take action
Those Lines​​ Well they conquer and divide us
Those Lines​​ But they don’t change what is inside us

Who decides, if you’re in or if you’re out?
​I’m sure it’s someone who don’t know what we’re about
Them’s that have the gold well their makin’ all the rules
​We have had enough of ‘em treatin’ us like fools

Those Lines​​ Well they conquer and divide us
Those Lines​​ But they can’t change what is inside us
Those Lines​​ They’re just a made up demarcation
Those Lines​​ But they don’t speak on our salvation

Time has come for the powerless to rise
​Come together and, we won’t have to compromise
Let’s erase the lines that we didn’t help to make
​And force the powerful to live up to their mistakes

Those Lines​​ They use to conquer and divide us
Those Lines​​ They never changed what is inside us
Those Lines​​ They are just old and antiquated
Those Lines​​ But they won’t last we’re motivated
Those Lines​​ They just made up a new distraction
Those Lines​​ Yeah they demand that we take action
Those Lines​​ They’re just a made up demarcation
Those Lines​​ But they don’t speak on our salvation
