about

This song is about the inherent selfishness of choosing to stay blind to the injustices that marginalized people face every day. It is about choosing to ignore those injustices because your privilege allows you to ignore them, and it’s easier to turn a blind eye and bury your head in the sand. It is a wake-up call to the people of the world to check your privilege and to never stop fighting for justice for all people until we are all free!

lyrics

What if I walked through that door
And burned this whole city down

Because I can’t look anymore without
Without breaking down

So much grief
That I weep
Time to tear it apart

Being meek is the law
When you’re not on the line

Don’t you realize that
There is no they
Just us, just us

Don’t you realize that
There is no they
Just us, just us

Breeze through
With no thought
Ignore
Keep your eyes shut tight

Acquiesce then
Forget
And walk on through
Stay blind

Have you
Ever thought to view
Yourself
In the blinding light

We are flawed
We’re all robbed
I beg of you
Just open your eyes

Don’t you realize that
There is no they
Just us, just us

Don’t you realize that
There is no they
Just us, just us

All wanting the same things
Freedom, peace, beauty

All wanting the same fucking things
Freedom, peace, and beauty

No they
Only us
Just us
Just us

No they
Only us
Just us
Just us

That is all we have
Just us
Just us

That is all there is
Just us
Just us
