Lyrics Administrative Violence - Lauren Bousfield

Administrative Violence

Where are you when you dream?
What does safety look like for you?
Watching your life slowly unravel
And the years of poverty finally clench in
How are you going to get out of this?
Down Catalina
Looking at the place I had so many epiphanies and a part of me died screaming
I’m sorry on the lawn
Always in crisis
Sung in polari
Swing the trauma like an analogy
Something intimate
Something worth hiding
It’s a small world after all administrative violence
Administrative violence
Another empty woman in me
Terms of service and another form of violence
