NOTES
Politicians and police officers might kiss babies, but they "kiss" dissent with fists and tear gas, guns and dogs. We’re the unhappy and beaten children of the state, but we no longer love our daddy. That's one angle this song is working from. The other is domestic violence, confusing love with abuse. This is also political violence, inside the home and out. This song says no to the romance of violence; no to an abusive partner or parent; no to an abusive state; no to the paradigm of “tough love.” We are no longer romantically involved with the state in both its public and private forms. We don’t need its brutal kisses. We don’t want its tyrannical love.

lyrics
just breathe. it’s not a crime. to be. as much as anything this private space is wrong. she sees a line. she might just have to go and cross it. leave? it’s not that time. we believe as much as anything this open space is raw. we see our time. we might just have to go and take it. just speak. it’s not a crime. to be. as much as anyone’s this public space is ours. she speaks a word and nothing is the same again. but see? it comes crashing down. policed. it’s not for everyone. this open space is closed. a fist comes quick. a hard kiss when word of law won’t do. that’s how they show her. they kiss her with fists. that’s how they show him. they kiss him with fists. that’s how they show you. they kiss you with fists. that’s how they show me. they kiss me with fists. they kiss me with fists.
