Lyrics
Why do I write about the pain?
Why do I make it so I scream?
I know how much we stand to gain
Rebuke this out of control train
They hide and look away
The truth is too painful, they say
But I will speak up for the dead
I can't get them out of my head
Seek evidence, think critically
First you say, "No way!", don't fall prey
If your skeptic falls asleep
You wake up as the sheep
We won't hide and look away
We can't persist like this
Our lives cannot be bliss
Structured cognitive dissonance
Ignorance is a choice
We speak up!
With our voice
Open your eyes and see
Truth over lies, we scream
Rage at these Systems
Rage at these Systems
This confluence of events
The zeitgeist too intense
So much suffering in history
Infinitely played on repeat
We speak up for the dead
They live inside our heads
We won't hide and look away
We can't persist like this
Our lives cannot be bliss
Structured cognitive dissonance
Ignorance is a choice
We speak up!
With our voice
Open your eyes and see
Truth over lies, we scream
Rage at these Systems
Rage at these Systems
They hide and look away
To face the truth another day
We fight their apathy
It's clear in front of me
Every moment we're under attack
And the pain slips through the cracks
Resist all these racists
No dogma then no hatred
Bring your voice, join resistance
Together we reform the Systems
Write some letters of concern?
I feel my fury burn and burn and burn
"Unfit to be the ruler of a free people"
"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us"
"He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States
For that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners
Refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither"
Seek evidence, think critically
First you say, "No way!", don't fall prey
If your skeptic falls asleep
You wake up as the sheep
We won't hide and look away
We can't persist like this
Our lives cannot be bliss
Structured cognitive dissonance
Ignorance is a choice
We speak up!
With our voice
We speak up!
Open your eyes and see
Truth over lies, we scream
While we stand fixated, terror in our streets
Rage at these Systems
Rage at these Systems
Rage at these Systems
Rage at these Systems
We will survive and earn our peace
We can see it, it's in reach
