Lyrics
It isn't fair
Expressing a sense of injustice or imbalance.
You can't always be safe outside
Suggesting that safety is not guaranteed outside.
And things would change if everyone would simply try
Highlighting the potential for positive change through collective effort.
Just keep the big iron holstered
Advocating for non-violent resolution, keeping weapons holstered.
And use your big boy fuckin words
Encouraging mature communication rather than aggression.
If you ever had a spine
Criticizing the lack of courage or assertiveness.
Then no one would get hurt
Emphasizing that assertiveness can prevent harm.
Stand up
Encouraging people to stand up for what's right.
Speak out
Advocating for speaking out against injustice.
Let's give reform a real try
Calling for genuine efforts to bring about reform.
We can't be stagnant while our loved ones pay the price
Stressing the urgency of reform to avoid consequences for loved ones.
I cannot be you
Rejecting conformity or imitation of others.
But I still see you
Acknowledging the presence of others even if not identical.
And if there's anything that I can do I will
Expressing a willingness to help others.
So pull the boot from your throat
Metaphorically urging liberation or freedom.
You saw a murder on that screen
Referencing witnessing a violent act on a screen.
The evidence is clear, ignorance is obscene
Asserting that evidence makes ignorance unacceptable.
It's good you feel discomfort
Encouraging discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth.
So now you can begin to grow
Highlighting the benefits of having an open mind.
An open mind allows for so much more to know
Emphasizing the potential for increased knowledge.
Stand up
Reiterating the call to stand up against injustice.
Speak out
Reiterating the call to speak out against injustice.
Let's give reform a real try
Renewing the plea for genuine reform efforts.
We can't be stagnant while our loved ones pay the price
Reinforcing the urgency of reform to protect loved ones.
I cannot be you
Affirming individuality while recognizing others.
But I still see you
Expressing continued awareness of others.
And if there's anything that I can do I will
Reiterating a willingness to offer help.
Reform, rebuild, no sick days
Advocating for reform and rebuilding without breaks.
There's no excuse
Emphasizing the absence of valid excuses.
From the ground up, stop this fucking murder
Directly condemning murder and calling for action.
There's no excuse
Reiterating the absence of valid excuses.
Reform, rebuild, no sick days
Advocating for continuous reform without breaks.
There's no excuse
Reinforcing the lack of acceptable excuses.
From the ground up, lock up those cowards
Calling for accountability and punishment.
Stand up
Reiterating the call to stand up against injustice.
Speak out
Reiterating the call to speak out against injustice.
Let's give reform a real try
Renewing the plea for genuine reform efforts.
We can't be stagnant while our loved ones pay the price
Reinforcing the urgency of reform to protect loved ones.
I cannot be you
Affirming individuality while recognizing others.
But I still see you
Expressing continued awareness of others.
And if there's anything that I can do I will
Reiterating a willingness to offer help.
