What About Us
Voicing Justice: Unveiling the Perfect Imperfections in 'What About Us'
Lyrics
How can there be that one moment in time when our perfect imperfections collide
There's a moment when our flaws and strengths come together.
Just the way that they need to for us to fit in to our perfectly practical lives
This fusion allows us to fit into our practical lives.
And it's all just a whisper to those in the background protecting their sweet little lies
Others, hiding their deceptions, disregard this connection.
But as that small whisper turns into a shout
A small truth grows louder.
Their perfectly practical lives will come tumbling down
Their practical lives will collapse.
Hey, hey, what about us
Questioning why others overlook our concerns.
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
Repeating the query about neglect.
And too many times I've been left all alone just defending the price on my head
Feeling abandoned, defending oneself.
But defending this system is only resisting the life they have planned you instead
Resisting conforming to their planned life.
And the voicing of reason and right hand of justice is there to protect what we have
Reason and justice protect our possessions.
But when the right hand of justice is over our mouths
When justice is silenced, lives will suffer.
Then practically everyone's lives will come tumbling down
Consequences if justice is suppressed.
Hey, hey, what about us
Reiterating the question of neglect.
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
Repeating the query about disregard.
And all of those preachers who teach us keep hold of that loved silver spoon
Advice to hold onto wealth.
For those preachers who teach us keep high out of reach
Advising to stay out of reach for those below.
For those who's beneath us so what can they do
Concern about the powerless.
As long as it's us against them we'll be good
As long as there's division, things will remain stable.
Hey, hey, what about us
Repeated questioning of neglect.
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
Repeating the query about disregard.
Mmmmm what about us
Expressing concern about neglect.
Hey, hey, what about us
Reiterating the question of neglect.
They cry, they cry
People crying out.
They cry, they cry, what about us
Continued cries for attention.
They cry, they cry
More cries for recognition.
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
Repeating the query about neglect.
They cry hey, oh they cry, what about us
Continued cries for acknowledgment.
They cry hey, they cry, hey, what about us
More appeals for attention.
Hey, hey, hey, it's about us
Repeating the concern about neglect.
