lyrics

You defend the scene but you forget your fellow human beings
They say you reap the seeds you sow but this harvest's nowhere to be seen
If we don’t stand up to oppression then we have picked a side
Our melodies scream for progression but we're compromised

You can say what you like when you're on top and words will be taken as truth
You can simply deny your involvement in old power structures that rot at the heart of the youth
Our own inaction is indictment, stand for equality

Why do we tolerate, even congratulate, something so far removed from what we claim to be
This culture of oppression can't go on in our community
If you've got no respect then leave

What kind of sacrifice would it be?
Sell the storm on down the river so the water can be clean
No remorse for bigotry, archaic values knock me sick, I ask again what do you really mean?
And if you claim to love all people but see some people as more equal, you perpetuate
established evils
One for all and all for one, cos' after all is said and done we've got to understand what we've become

Combat misogyny, our silence is a tragedy
Another human disempowered by the systematic war on women
Recognise that we are guilty simply by not taking action
This needs to end right now
