Spoken Virus
TV said it. Fake news bled it. President is braying it
I absorb it. They've made it o-kay
Xenophobic incitations. Leader pukes, I regurgitate it
Generalizing. They've made it o-kay
C-N-N, F-O-X, C-B-S, M-S-N-B-C, they report, I relay
Throwing neighbors under the bus, they have made it o-kay
Citizens scared, pandemic flares. Let us fan
The flame. Need a scapegoat, there's our scapegoat
Throwing neighbors under the bus, they have made it o-kay
Like a sponge, we soak it all in, we soak it all in, we soak it all in
Like a sponge, we soak it all in, we soak it all in, we soak
Just 1 week after the Trump Administration's disgraceful usage
Of the term Chinese Virus on air, an organization reported a spike
Of over 650 reports of discriminatory acts against Asian Americans
And that's just 1 organization
Incidents of women and men getting spit on at bus stops
Beaten at subway stations, threatened in their own neighborhoods
Kids bullied and stabbed
Racist assault as a direct result of our leaders' and news providers' choice in words
Spoken virus, spray it
Influencers transmit
Recklessly, they incite
Simply put folks, this is not right
I absorb it. They've made it o-kay
Xenophobic incitations. Leader pukes, I regurgitate it
Generalizing. They've made it o-kay
C-N-N, F-O-X, C-B-S, M-S-N-B-C, they report, I relay
Throwing neighbors under the bus, they have made it o-kay
Citizens scared, pandemic flares. Let us fan
The flame. Need a scapegoat, there's our scapegoat
Throwing neighbors under the bus, they have made it o-kay
Like a sponge, we soak it all in, we soak it all in, we soak it all in
Like a sponge, we soak it all in, we soak it all in, we soak
Just 1 week after the Trump Administration's disgraceful usage
Of the term Chinese Virus on air, an organization reported a spike
Of over 650 reports of discriminatory acts against Asian Americans
And that's just 1 organization
Incidents of women and men getting spit on at bus stops
Beaten at subway stations, threatened in their own neighborhoods
Kids bullied and stabbed
Racist assault as a direct result of our leaders' and news providers' choice in words
Spoken virus, spray it
Influencers transmit
Recklessly, they incite
Simply put folks, this is not right
