lyrics

Are you afraid to die in debt one day?
Your parents’ shame
Drag their name
Through the mud
For your dreams
Were you born like that?
Did you grow up like me?
Dream of genocide
Your family tree
Were you born like that?
Did you grow up like me?
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
You grew up this way

Or are you afraid of climate change?
Too late to change,
Or save the human race
From the floods
Or the winter heat
Were you born like that,
Vengeful apathy?
Dream of genocide
The death of everything!
Were you born like that?
Did you grow up like me?
I’m afraid of the world I grew up in
I’m afraid it’s the world where we’ll raise children
I’m afraid that the planet cannot sustain our damage
I’m afraid of the next pandemic, oh.

What if it’s in everyone?
What if we’re not the same?
What if it’s warfare?
Dead dog paradise
Or life like parasites?
In excess,
Cops are killers
It’s a shame you grew up this way

It’s a shame, it’s a shame
You grew up this way

I’m afraid, I’m afraid
Things will never change
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
We are not the same
How could you fear a virus?
When there are evil, hateful parasites
That lie, cheat, steal and kill inside us

How do you commit to the strength in your hands?
The sound of your voice, the fear in your laugh
At poverty, in university
Committing yourself the only way you can

(Community builds empathy)
(Commit yourself to mutual aid)
But what if it’s stupid?
How could you believe in the capacity for change?

(What if it’s in everyone?)
(What if we’re not the same?)
Commit yourself to mutual aid
(What if it’s in everyone?)
(What if we’re not the same?)
Commit yourself with the time that you have left
As if there is a choice
As if there is a chance
Commit yourself

It’s a shame, it’s a shame
You grew up this way
