Baby you can have it all, baby you can build a wall
You wear a suit, you wear a sneer, you are peddling hubris and fear (2X)
Does it make you feel complete sending out a hateful tweet
Tell us another alternative fact, smoke and mirrors to distract (2X)
Your pants are on fire
Stakes couldn’t be higher
You know that divided we fall
We gotta show up
We gotta shout out
We gotta stand up for all
Is this reality tv? You are not the boss of me
Commander in Chief’s a megalomaniac and when you grab this pussy this pussy grabs back
Grab this pussy this pussy grabs back
Honey play to your base, honey lie to my face
Liberty and justice under attack but when you grab this pussy this pussy grabs back,
Grab this pussy this pussy grabs back
We are the sirens
We won’t be silent
Ain’t gonna kneel down and crawl
We gonna show up
We gonna shout out
We gonna stand up for all
How can we bridge this divide
Each in our tribes
No compromise
How can ever break through
Agree on what’s true
In a culture of fear and lies
(we need a-)
1.Culture of kindness 2.Culture of kindness 3.Culture of kindness
Instead of this blindness Instead of this blindness Instead of this blindness
We gotta stand up for all You know that divided we fall This is a clarion call
