Elephant Stomp Only choice vengence Elephant stomp Forward to death Elephant stomp Wreaking havoc Elephant stomp No second chance Grandmother wisdom shot down in her prime No one will listen scene of the crime Council of patience no longer will hear 'Time for war' runs through my ears Chained to a handler rides for the tourists Ivory scandal carvings for purists abandoned ignored circus comes calling Tusks in your face now buildings are falling No human is safe no buildings will stand no slaking our vengeance no one tells the tale no earth uncovered no pause in our rage Til everything's red blood is our wage Bones of my ancestors compel me to kill humans come close my tusks will reveal

about

At the end of 2019 you gotta know your rights. As nation after nation becomes fascist nationalistic apocalyptic war machines the small spaces for expression, love and life need to be cherished. The full spectrum of communication can only be appreciated if you know what you can and can't do under surveillance.

KMRO suggests becoming familiar with the ACLU, keeping the phone number of a lawyer around, and never talking to the cops. Just don't do it. Let a lawyer do your talking even if it costs some money.

This is an EP of songs of love and machinations intended to sooth, agitate and all points in between. Know My Rights Officer is an invocation for authority to do better, for cops to stop beating people and for people to not have to stress this shit. It won't work, so you gotta know the other side of the invocation which is just practical advice.

This EP is in tribute of all the victims of police violence world wide. From Gaza to Ferguson to Hong Kong.

Thanks to Andi for suggesting the moniker for KMRO.
