Miss Anna Campbell is an adaptation of Miss Pavlichenko by Woody Guthrie with lyrics by The Window-Smashing Job Creators. The Window-Smashers' performance of it can be seen here. www.facebook.com/dontwaitdemandutopia/videos/583124642032597

Bread & Roses is an old union hymn with lyrics by James Oppenheim and music by Mimi Fariña.

All other songs are traditional and public domain, even and especially the ones we wrote.

Going to Rojava is based on the American Civil war tune Going Across The Mountains, which we learned from The Wooden Shoe Ramblers. You can hear their version of the traditional song here. woodenshoeramblers.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-ruins-theyve-left-us-well-plant-gardens-still
Emmett from the Ramblers also contributed the first two lines of The Only Good Cop.

This album used to contain a song about Willem Van Spronsen. We didn't know when we wrote it that Van Spronsen was an abuser or that four separate domestic violence protection orders were issued against Van Spronsen. However, we chose to record and release the song with that knowledge, under the belief that the heroic act of firebombing ICE vans could be separated from the harm Van Spronsen caused in life. We no longer believe that, and as such, the song has been removed. We are only sorry that we made the wrong choice in the first place and that we left the song up for nearly a year.
Additionally, there is evidence Willem Van Spronsen was likely trans. While we don't know Van Spronsen's pronouns, we have no wish to misgender anyone, so we would probably have taken the song down on those grounds anyway. This is the reason for the awkward lack of personal pronouns in this statement.
