What’s it gonna take for you to stand up to this?
The church and state hide monsters in plain sight
They crown them with power, swear they’re right
Blame queens who read or blame how you’re born
It’s their fear of love they weaponized for war
You send your kids out dressed for battle
Bulletproof backpacks, more human chattel
To sacrifice for an amendment, a myth you protect
While targeting kids who don’t pass your test
Fodder for the machine, call it keeping the peace
Teach them fear before they learn to speak
If safety’s the lie that you choose to believe
Say it again while they tighten your leash
We aren’t as free as we like to think
What’s it gonna be?
Where is your breaking point? Your outrage? Your morals?
I guess there are none when hate is normal
They call it law, they call it right
While they strip the constitution in broad daylight
You can’t stay numb, don’t look away
Stand up for your neighbors before it’s too late
Door to door, they’re rounding them up
Call them criminals, murderers, rapists to set them up
But it’s their hands that are dirty, their sins that they hide
While they commit the crimes they swear justify
Thirty-four felonies, stacks of blame
Say his name again and again and again
It was never the price of eggs, it was never the law
It was power, control, and a cult you applaud
You’re paying more for less, and losing more than this
