about

A song about the Karen genre of white women.

lyrics

“Jeff: Aunty! How come I have to move to the city with my mum and my eight dads?
Aunty: Better T.V. reception, boy. And we don’t have any more land for you to play on!
Jeff: How come?
Aunty: The bloody thieving colonialists stole it all! Can you say that, boy? Bloody thieving colonialists?
Jeff:...
Aunty: That’s alright, boy. Just call them Pakeha.” - bro’Town

Chorus:
I don’t want to place blame on you
But you know there are things you can do
And I don’t wanna wait for the world to catch up
I’ve had enough of these interruptions all the time
I’m like… no.

V1:
You know what?
You can miss me with the niceties
I can tell that you don’t see me
Just thinking about yourself
You don’t feel all these atrocities
Your younger brother never went to court for nothin’
He gets up and still says, “fuck ‘em”
You’re just thinking about yourself
So you won’t ever be my savior
Vanilla always was my last choice for flavour
What’s with this complex?
A weird flex?
First a wave of high fructose mayo comes ashore
Picks apart the culture, starts another war
Brings around a famine that collapses into drought
Then forces in a system that fills babies up with doubt
Takes a note of problems, then blames them on the people
Getting likes on instagram will never make us equal
You know what?
I hope this is intimidating
Because your virtue signals come off as incriminating

V2:
You know what?
You can miss me with the niceties
Coz I know given the chance you’d call the cops on me
The prison system is just repackaged slavery
Black power still rising up
Now that is bravery
We live in a world with endless information
So study up on human rights before your next vacation
You hear me, Karen?
Your ancestors were trash.
And I’ll keep saying that until the system turns to ash.
