Lyrics

I spent three years in that cracked old cave
With slogans on walls they never obeyed
They called it freedom, rebellion, pride
But all I found was mold and lies

Old men in leather with Che shirts on
Mocked my name while Dylan played on
Old men in leather with Che shirts on
Mocked my name while Dylan played on...

They joked about pronouns, said race was a phase
While their dreadlocked niece worked minimum wage
They gender-policed me, they mansplained my fight
Then toasted themselves for “keeping it light”

They called it safe space, but I wasn’t safe
Not from their laughs, not from their gaze
They called it safe space, but I wasn’t safe
Not from their laughs, not from their gaze

This ain’t no rebel bar, it’s a dump for old dreams
Where every fake ally knows what freedom means
They said I was family, then watched me bleed
Dumb Dumpers – where your progress dies on speed

Dumb Dumb Dumpers..

They served up dogma in vintage cups
And called me sister when the light was up
But once I talked back, the room got cold
Suddenly I was “too much” to hold
They preached inclusion with deadpan eyes
Then pissed their pants when I cut through the lies
They preached inclusion with deadpan eyes
Then pissed their pants when I cut through the lies...

This ain’t no rebel bar, it’s a dump for old dreams
Where every fake ally knows what freedom means
They said I was family, then watched me bleed
Dumb Dumpers – where your progress dies on speed

Dumb Dumb Dumpers..
Ohh Dumb Dumpers
A Bar full with old men
Where progress dies in Speed



Let me paint the final scene:
A hetero dude with a stale routine
Says: “You’re kinda hot – for a tranny, I mean”
And the barkeep shrugs. Just shrugs.
Three years for that shrug.
Three years for that fucking shrug.

I wanted to belong – you wanted a freakshow!
You played punk – but you sold your soul for cheap echo!

This ain’t no rebel bar, it’s a dump for old dreams
Where every fake ally knows what freedom means
They said I was family, then watched me bleed
Dumb Dumpers – where your progress dies on speed
Dumb Dumpers – where your values go to die
Dumb Dumpers – light a match and say goodbye
