lyrics

there's no way this could ever happen
not after we've come so far
suddenly there is more interest
in crossing the line than raising the bar

it's now okay to be the bully
it's now okay to build our walls
it's now okay to find more ways
to separate us and have injustice for all

it's a strange old world we're facing
with the brave new one left behind
those who are willing to open their eyes
might be resistant to being led by the blind

to say that "now's the time to come together
and for everyone to heal"
it feels like having the person who shot you
ask you to pay the hospital bill

it's hard to displace the fear with faith
it's hard right now to believe in evolution
it's hard to see a silver lining
or take consolation in a silent minority solution

don't want to be a part of this brave old world

it's not okay to be the bully
it's not okay to build these walls
it's not okay to find more ways
and say that now's the time to come together

it's not okay to be the bully
it's not okay to keep building these walls
it's not okay to keep on finding more ways
to separate us all

there's no way this could ever happen
not after we've come this far
