Are you sick of it?
Do you not want to hear about it?
Imagine the exhaustion within
If you were the one with the dark skin***

I don't know, and I can't know, and I'll never know just what that's like
And you may not know (if you don't know by now), you'll never know what's that's like
And if you claim to know that you don't know about what it's like on the other side
Then you're answering "if" when we need to ask "what"

What are we going to do with all of this
WHITE PRIVELAGE
Well the first step is accepting the truth that it
EXISTS,
And if that's too hard for you
BIGOTS
Then that's what you are,
and we obviously have work to do

I find it strange I still have hope in the human race
Lately, things have been pretty fucked up
I guess we've still got a long way to go if we want to get to space

(What do we do now?)
What are we going to do with all of this
WHITE PRIVELAGE
Well the first step is accepting the truth that it
EXISTS,
And if that's too hard for you
BIGOTS
Then that's what you are,
So hold up a mirror
It's the 21st century and we need to see more clearly
If you've got any power, then that means someone has less
And it's so obvious it's narcissicm at best
To get wrapped into your conquests
And charmed by the womb
Of all this softness and quiet
Of a life lived just for you and yours
It's more than just surviving
Moreso about this "mine mine mine" mentality
That'll leave us all alone

Leave us all alone

We're not just animals anymore
We don't have to hoard
We have got to care
There's too much pain out there
And you've got it too
Up in the penthouse, yeah even you
It's deep and blind and cruel

We are all alone

So while we're on this plane
We need to find a common name
Evolution is the aim

Cause we are all the same

And we all play this stupid game
But the rules are not always the same
If your skin's a different shade

So let's burn this pallisade

And I don't know what to do
But I know it has to start with you
To accept the truth that
Decades cannot centuries undo
And you will screw your kids up too
If you're not asking
"What are we going to do?"
