Lyrics
You criticize and weaponize
You only thrive by spreading lies
Got the world so hypnotized
And mesmerized, but you're dead inside
Must be nice to pick a price
And have the whole world by your side
And if we dare to criticize
We become dehumanized
I'm paying for somebody else's mistake
Tell me how many lives does it take?
'Til you feel like we deserve a break
I don't know how much more of this I can take
It's a hell, it's a hell
For the exiles
It's a hell, it's a hell
For the occupied
Evangelicals praying for Armageddon
Want Jesus to come back think they'll go to heaven
How typical to miss the point of the lesson
They said they'll remember, but they keep forgetting
I'm paying for somebody else's mistake
Tell me how many lives does it take?
'Til you feel like we deserve a break
I don't know how much more of this I can take
It's a hell, it's a hell
For the exiles
It's a hell, it's a hell
For the occupied
It's a hell, it's a hell
For the exiles
It's a hell, it's a hell
It's apartheid
Now we've made it to this part of the play
The part where we pretend that we're fighting for a democracy
But really, it's a democracy for some, not for all, isn't it?
And the only reason that you are fighting now
Is because your freedom is threatened
Otherwise we would've gone on business as usual
You know the drill
Oppression
Apartheid
Settler colonialism
White supremacy
That's your legacy
Well for me
I dream of a place where we are all free
Where it doesn't matter if you're black, white, or anything in between
Whether you're a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, or if you don't believe
Whether you're hetero, metro, trans, fem or queer
You can be what you wanna be here
