Slem - For Your Consideration (Refaat Alareer Memorial Library Lentil Curry Song) Lyrics

For your consideration
Best Lentil Curry of the Year
I present the lentils granted by the people
At the Library of Refaat Alareer
They were seasoned well, and they warmed me up inside
They were served on the steps that the students occupied
They were made in the honor of a poet who died
And they stood opposed to genocide
For your consideration
Best lentil curry in our town
I present the lentils granted by the people
On the day before the cops came round
They were made with love, served by people having fun
And the laughter of the cooks rang out louder than the guns
And they'd feed you, whether you'd stay and fight the cops, or whether you'd run
For the food was there for everyone
For your consideration
Best Lentil Curry of the Year
I present the lentils granted by the people
At the Library of Refaat Alareer
For your consideration
Best lentil curry that you'll see
For no one cooks things better than the people
When they're cooking in a place that's free
Even temporarily
