lyrics

It's that time of year
When I all see is the dead leaves hanging on the trees
I want to crack a smile
But it's just been a while

Since I've seen

Anything to lift us up
Anything to change my luck
Give me any way out of these hopeless days

The ones in charge time and again let us down
Left to fend for ourselves while we're scrounging on the ground
I want to build a world with you
But I'm not sure what we're looking forward to

Since I've seen

Anything to lift us up
Anything to change my luck
Give me any way out of these hopeless days

So here we are today
Are we any closer to justice?

I don't think so

So here we are today
On our hands and knees screaming
Give us justice give us peace
Give us better pay a place to lay our head
An identity where I'm free to be who I choose to be
Maybe we'll be happy before we're dead.
