Bothered
Rising Against Injustice: Unveiling the Powerful Message of 'Bothered'
Lyrics
Kids just sitting there not bothering anyone
Kids are sitting peacefully without causing trouble.
And they come bearing down a drop dead hand
They face a threatening situation.
Fix this sign on a dark scene anywhere
Fixing a sign in any dark situation or environment.
Wipe that set with a dusted hand
Cleaning or clearing a set or area.
When everywhere you look
Everywhere they look or observe.
And everything you see
All things present around them.
Is just another beatdown
Encountering constant oppression or violence.
Coming down the street
Approaching troubles or difficulties.
And every time you choke
Feeling suffocated or restrained.
And every fist or feet
Physical aggression directed at them.
Is turned against the victim
The victim is blamed for their identity.
Blamed for who you be
Being held responsible for who they are.
We need a change
Expressing the necessity for change.
Boys just holding hands
Boys innocently showing affection.
Not bothering anyone
Not causing trouble or harm to anyone.
Doors kicked in by a rednecked man
Violent intrusion by someone prejudiced.
Girls just speaking out
Girls courageously expressing themselves.
Not bothering anyone
Minding their own business without causing issues.
Face gets slapped by entitled hand
Being physically assaulted by someone entitled.
We can start right here
Encouragement to initiate change from this moment.
We can start right now
Empowerment to begin making a difference immediately.
The world's all fucked and I'm not blaming anyone
Recognizing the chaos in the world without assigning blame.
Just reach out and show your hand
Extending support or help to others.
