lyrics

I am the voice of all of my dead friends
The ones that died an early, ugly end
The ones that chose the way they died,
And the ones killed by the badge we trust with our lives
For Leelah, Kyler and Ty Underwood
Because society is out for blood
For Tommy, Ronnie and the countless souls
Who never got a chance to grow old

Everybody get a fist in the air
Raise your voice and show the world that you're there
We're gonna hold our own,
And we won't do what we're told
We're gonna make our stand
Brothers and sisters all holding hands
We're gonna paint the whole city black
It's time that we fight back

Did you watch the evening news?
What's the point?
Nobody tells the truth.
Do you know what you're gonna do
When them legalized thugs with guns come after you?
Can you hold 'em with your M-16?
And fight off the new Gestapo regime?
The military industrial complex,
Well it says that you're next

Hey, yeah, if you ain't cis and white
Hey, yeah, they're coming for your life
Brutality, they try to cover and hide it
But I've seen the evidence,
And now I've gotta fight it
