lyrics

What have you got when you’ve got something to lose
And the world is changing
What have you got when you’ve got something to prove
And we’re calling you out
You’ve got a great big truck
Some friends in the Klan
And guns at the border

We’ve got a problem

The media gives you an excuse
Not to trust them
The government and institutions too
They just don’t care
So, now you’re radicalized
By the hand that feeds
Your ignorance and privilege

The oligarchs mobilize their pawns
The world over
The cops have shown us whose side they’re on
Again and again
And so it’s left to us
To protect ourselves
And our communities

We’ve got a problem
A fascist problem
Right now

Make no mistake, we the people
Have defeated the fascists before
Mark my words, we will beat them again
A better world is worth fighting for

So if you march with the enemy
Carry seeds wherever you go
So that when you’re dead in the dirt
Something beautiful might grow
