  • Poster/Print + Digital Album

    This tatreez-inspired print symbolizing a mill wheel pays homage to Palestinian women, who have played an integral role in resisting the Israeli occupation. Tatreez — a centuries old artful embroidery technique with radical roots — is just one of the many tools they have utilized.

    This is a limited edition blockprint (one of 50)

    Each piece is hand printed onto archival paper (Rives BFK 280g cream 100% cotton), and will be signed and numbered.

    Due to the nature of hand printing, each piece has slight variations from each other and may vary slightly from the image pictured.

    Roughly 7"x7"

lyrics

hey pretty momma are you going to stay?
you got in your car but didn’t drive away
so get out of your car or you can drive away
the devil chained me up across from you
he’s sitting in the middle on a plastic stool
he gets dark power from everything that we do
way down yonder in the monarchy
you sing for the king you sing for the queen
and they cut your head off if you get out of key
i’m always amazed by how quick you forget
but you always keep score and i’m always in debt
that old ice water goes over my head
you’ve been pulling my strings like marionette
and that’s why i could never be your wife
I saw you eating salad with a carving knife
for you wrongdoing is doing it right
if you were a wasp and i was a bee
i used to spend all my time making honey for the queen
but you old praying mantis bit the head off me
