In case this isn't crystal clear, I think that black lives matter, and I think that our *president* is the worst of all possible humans.
lyrics
v1:
I've got a friend I love
Says, "why you gotta make it about race?"
And I got a hundred bucks
Says he ain't willin' to trade his place
...his place in the sun
v2:
I thought we knew what's right
But I'm starting to second guess
If you see just black & white
You might find there's nothing left
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
v3:
I think he's dumb & mean
You don't need a heart to be cruel
It's time to close this scene
Rid ourselves of this gang of old fools
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
v4:
I've heard some people say
"That couldn't happen here"
Take a look at today
It all seems crystal clear
br:
We need empathy, not apathy
A smaller dose of tragedy
And leaders who know how to be
Something close to human
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
ch:
You might miss the march
But you've got a song, and you've gotta shout it
Let them hate you if they want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, there's no doubt about it
We'll regret it if we don't
We'll regret it if we don't
