Why do we have this shit?
Out of scope garbage
Water damaged moldy crap
It’s falling apart don’t get trapped
The stuff is beyond repair
Unworthy of retention nobody cares
DEACCESSION
Don’t want your medical records
Burn those tax returns
Acrimony and no deed
Your stolen goods we don't need
Max cap, no storage space
Destroy it all burn this waste
DEACCESSION
Why do we have this shit?!

Malicious acquisition
Strengthen your position
Historic traumas
Trendy to collect
The way you do business
Deserves no respect
Colonizing history
Bought Diversity
Cutting off communities
From their own histories
Do you need to own this?
Cultural vulture
Vacuuming integrity
For your own celebrity
Respect the creator
Fuck off curator!

Pretend to want diversity
To care about inclusion
Pretend to have values
Aligned with all the lit
Throw money at the problem
When you don’t give a shit
Performance art
It’s not real
Performance art
You’re not real
Use all the right words
They won’t change a thing
Your lack of action
Is all that you bring
We can see right through you
To the empty underneath
Human resources (we see right through you)
Administration (we see right through you)
Esteemed faculty (we see right through you)
Politicians (we see right through you)

Exploiting people
The classist swine
We have the skills
We make the time
They have the money
They make the rules
Preying on the desperate
With the masters tools
Collectively de-normalize
Unpaid internships
Stand up and unionize
Don’t let them exploit you
Collectively de-normalize
Unpaid internships
Expose the hypocrisy
Of greedy leadership

Cozy on a hard drive
You think you’re safe
In your computer
You put all your faith
Digital shelf life
Is shorter than you think
Bit Rot, Bit Rot
Digital lies!
Compressing memories
You can’t unzip
Take care of your files
Bag up your bits
Short-term thinking
Long term costs
Emulate, migrate
Or suffer permanent loss
Digital lies!
