Chorus:

When one of us falls, we all fall

When you look around what do you see, a democracy? More like hypocrisy.

What happened to justice and liberty for all? We the people? No-

They the people. The real minority- the white cis men and twisted ideals and not we the people.


Verse:

They run the country with their knotted filthy hands, touching and burning and choking and turning

Everything good into dust and piles

Fair trial? More like throw the non-whites into the jails and prisons and make their lives bad so

You have that good free labor that people payed for back in the times


Chorus:

When you look around what do you see a democracy? More like hypocrisy

What happened to justice and liberty for all? We the people?

They the people. The real minority- the white cis men and twisted ideals and not we the people


Verse:

Bang! Crash! Another one falls and where are we? In our homes protected by the “bubble” we live in

Why are we doing this? Isolating ourselves from the real world, pretending nothing bad will ever happen as long as we all stay together in “Liberaltown” -- in harmony

And watch people go down one by one just for the pigmentation of their skin, for a social construct created simply for this purpose


Chorus:

When you look around what do you see a democracy? More like hypocrisy

What happened to justice and liberty for all? We the people?

They the people. The real minority- the white cis men and twisted ideals and not we the people. Not us.
