lyrics

How am I supposed to write about the protests and the tear gas and all the rubber bullets whistling through the streetlights bleeding brown, bleeding black, bleeding red, white, and blue, when I can’t get out of bed what the fuck am I to do? Fists raised in the air. Everyone’s bandages are glowing. It’s like a sick twisted rave and the police lights are the strobes. How am I supposed to want to change this fucked-up world we live in when half the fucking time I don’t even want to live?

And another one down. And another body hits the ground. Another name on the front page family in disgrace racist fingers pointing all around. And it’s another bad day where I can’t get out of bed. Staring at the ceiling. Gunshot ringing in my head. Why couldn’t it have gotten me instead?

Tell me how we’re gonna change the world. Tell me how you make it out of bed everyday with your fist in the air and the wind in your hair and the fire in your eyes still there. Tell me how we’re gonna make it through. Promise me we’re gonna make it out alive ‘cause I’m so tired of all the names piling up and the graves lining all of the roads we’re marching down.

Another protest. Another flyer. Let’s organize and fight this fire. Another huge crowd marching through the night. Another group of white supremacists egging on a fight. I tried to go. Swear I was there for a while stumbling and shivering at least a couple of miles but I panicked and I couldn’t breathe and left like a coward.

Tell me that we’re gonna make it through. Promise me we’re gonna make it through.
