What About Us Lyrics

How can there be that one moment in time when our perfect imperfections collide

Just the way that they need to for us to fit in to our perfectly practical lives

And it's all just a whisper to those in the background protecting their sweet little lies

But as that small whisper turns into a shout

Their perfectly practical lives will come tumbling down

Hey, hey, what about us

Hey, hey, hey, what about us

And too many times I've been left all alone just defending the price on my head

But defending this system is only resisting the life they have planned you instead

And the voicing of reason and right hand of justice is there to protect what we have

But when the right hand of justice is over our mouths

Then practically everyone's lives will come tumbling down

Hey, hey, what about us

Hey, hey, hey, what about us

And all of those preachers who teach us keep hold of that loved silver spoon

For those preachers who teach us keep high out of reach

For those who's beneath us so what can they do

As long as it's us against them we'll be good

Hey, hey, what about us

Hey, hey, hey, what about us

Mmmmm what about us

Hey, hey, what about us

They cry, they cry

They cry, they cry, what about us

They cry, they cry

Hey, hey, hey, what about us

They cry hey, oh they cry, what about us

They cry hey, they cry, hey, what about us

Hey, hey, hey, it's about us
