Riddle Me This Lyrics

Riddle me this

Dear citizens of the free world

That call yourselves fucking activists

That convince others they care about us

You are a single person

Living alone with 4 cars

You are a single person

Living alone in a house of 6 rooms

Rallying for world peace

Screaming for justice

But you ignore the homeless

Outside your very door?

Complaining about gas prices and inflation

While you stuff yourselves with steak

Complaining about the world outside

While your world burns

You're worried about my gender?

There's people struggling to eat

Their voices stifled

Their throats drying out

Struggling to keep warm during winter

Freezing their fingers off

While you sit in your heated rooms

Arguing about what's for dinner

"The homeless are a menace

They bring in the drugs

And raise the crimes"

You know who the real criminals are?

Your fucking politicians

Making life harder to live

Your fucking ignorance

Letting them get away with it

Killing yourself to escape is a crime

It's a mental illness to be depressed

Label us

Put us on the very drugs you hate us for

God forbid

Anybody tries to help us

Here's a little scenario for you

You're living in a comfy home

You got a mother a father and a family dog

- Hurricane season

Your roof flies off

- Emotional negligence

Your world in shatters

- The stock market fluctuates

Your job gone

- A physical or mental injury

And instead of helping

The rest of humanity looks at you like it's all your fault

This poem isn't about me

It's about every time you wince at the plight of a beggar

It's about your pride that you put up

Stopping you from sparing change

Because "They'll probably buy drugs"

Never stopping to think

Never stopping to ask

Never stopping to notice

Why the fuck are life threatening drugs

Cheaper than the housing market?

Never stopping to think

Never stopping to ask

Never stopping to notice

Why the fuck are life threatening drugs

Cheaper than the housing market?

Riddle me this

Dear citizens of the free world

Why the fuck are guns more accessible

Than human fucking kindness?

Riddle me this

Dear citizens of the free world

Why the fuck are guns more accessible

Than human fucking kindness?

Riddle me this

Dear citizens of the free world

Do you hate us because we're dirty and unsightly?

Or is it because you don't want to help us?
