We didn't ask for this
Back to the same old shit
No lessons learned the last time?
Boss, I'm feelin' a little tired
Innocence lost in the crossfire
Hard to raise our voices again
Back to the same old tropes
That are supposed to give us hope
But they no longer seem to work that way
The ego of a man
Throw our futures in the trash can
As might makes right again
Privilege makes it background noise
As I sit here with my toys
Like my phone and my brand-new car
Muted on my screens
The sound of background screams
As another life torn apart
Will we ever learn
Most of us will suffer
Most of us will get burned
Our future is at stake
Would you rather destroy
Or would you rather create?
