High Risk Trigger
Eyehategod Lyrics

What's gone is gone again
The past is unchangeable; it has gone and will never come back.

Dogs gnaw the bone for luck
People cling to what little they still have in hopes that they will have good fortune.

Scorch factory doors to ash
Destroy the tangible things that exploit and cause suffering to the people.

Sub-legal evidence
Evidence that might not hold up in a legal court, but represents the injustices that people deal with daily.

Force fed and howling
Oppressed people fed and howling in misery.

Scarce access allowing
Access to basic necessities is limited and scarce.

Deaf, jagged, and prowling
People are hurting, angry, and ready to prowl in protest.

Ragged as the hero was
People fighting for justice will be exhausted and worn out like the heroes of past struggles.

Infection is the way
Whatever is causing problems must be eliminated, even if that means causing pain and injury.

Disruptive crowd takes aim
The people must unite to cause chaos and destruction toward things that perpetrate injustices.

Burn down the rail yard house
A symbolic act of destroying the mechanisms that move people around like cargo.

Destroy the USA
Destroying the USA symbolizes the fall of systems that perpetrate exploitation, racism, and other systemic failures.

Zoned out, dulled out
The oppressive system numbs people down to the point where they feel defeated and incapable of action.

Can't leave the floor
People can't even stand up, let alone take action, due to their oppressive situations.

Blood shot, gun shot we don't belong
People who are marginalized and oppressed feel they are under constant attack, but they still refuse to be silenced or deterred.

All streets, fake peace
The idea of peace is false and misguided when oppression is prevalent everywhere.

Bold face regret
People who deliberately perpetuate oppression should be held accountable for their actions.

Welfare, warfare
The same systems that serve to support people in one way can serve to destroy them in another way.

High risk reward
Taking risks may bring about great rewards, but it can also be dangerous and may entail personal sacrifice.

Take risks, rise up and stay
People should be willing to take risks and fight to overcome oppression, rather than passively accept their exploitation.

Screw pigs who lie for pay
People in positions of power who exploit the vulnerability of others for their own benefit should be called out and rejected by society.

The useless won't remain
People who are not willing to fight for justice will be left behind as society rises up to change.

Unwritten books in graves
The stories and potential of those oppressed and silenced will be buried without ever being heard or realized.
