Radicals Lyrics

I lit the fuse, you say, not the bomb

I pulled a trigger, didn't shoot no gun, no, no

Cause and effect applies to your free speech

Don't confuse your rights with your privilege

Oh, how love is a radical act

Empathy is a radical act

Understanding is a radical act

Education is a radical act

All these dudes who really love their guns

It's not a show of strength but evidence of fear

Reduce the causes and you'll reduce crime

Those are people below your thin blue line

Oh, how peace is a radical act

Your forgiveness is a radical act

And yes, patience is a radical act

Caring for others is a radical act

You say, time is money, but life has no worth

It begins at conception and quickly ends at birth

Change is constant and we choose what to conserve

Who can change faster, the people or the earth?

Responsibility is a radical act

Selflessness is a radical act

Speaking up is a radical act

But listening is also a radical act
