about

This is a call-out to toxic call-out culture and a reminder to younger "radicals" in the privileged spaces they occupy, of the hard work, pain, and opposition the last generations had to face, who get branded with being out of touch or even worse.

“Justice demands integrity. It’s to have a moral universe — not only know what is right or wrong but to put things in perspective, weigh things. Justice is different from violence and retribution; it requires complex accounting.” (Bell Hooks)

lyrics

You take advantage of the powers you've been granted
Although you call it hard-earned won
You're profiting from those who've gone before

You accuse him
Then abuse him
And refuse him space to counter
Don't make it
Don't fake it
When you know you couldn't even take it

Hesitate to throw a stone! It's not cowardice nor treason
Think not of your house of glass
But of the flesh and bone of your fellow human

Who takes your words for all and for one?
Not me.
Who takes your words as the setting sun?

An emotional tantrum, clear, it makes for decent ratings
And you'll probably be lent an ear
Or get broadcast on the radio.

Don't make it
Don't fake it
When you know you couldn't fucking take it
You accuse her
And Abuse her
And refuse her space to counter

Hesitate to throw a stone! It's not cowardice nor treason
Think not of your house of glass
But of the flesh and bone of your fellow human
Do unto others, etc... is said but often not done
By me, by him, by her, by them, by you and everyone in this room.

Who takes your words as the setting sun?

All beneath the moon will fade
The moon itself will move away
All that in this world that's bought
Now or then returns to nought
In Time...
