"We" (feat. Treme Brass Band)
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
"We" didn't start the war
("We" didn't start the war)
No, "we" didn't start the war
("We" didn't start the war)
It was the man with the plan in the eight grand suit
Who picked a -stan to go blam just to keep up the ruse
He made demand out of sand, said it came from you
A pseudo-democratic spectacle for revenue
No, we didn't start the war
All we did was put up with it
No more!
Don't wanna take collective blame (No more!)
For injustices done in our name (No more!)
It started all before we were born
And now we'll make it never, ever, ever happen anymore
"We" didn't burn the oil
("We" didn't burn the oil)
No, "we" didn't burn the oil
("We" didn't burn the oil)
It was execs with effects costin' more than your house
Who wrote the checks for the techs they could shove in your mouth
And to arrest the oppressed who would dare make a sound
You drive a car or you starve and you get in the ground
No, we didn't burn the oil
All we did was put up with it
No more!
Don't wanna take collective blame (No more!)
For injustices done in our name (No more!)
It started all before we were born
And now we'll make it never, ever, ever happen anymore
Shouldn't be our job to fix
But they left us all stuck with this shit
Insisted we be complicit, no more!
We'll never, ever, ever let 'em get away with it
"We" didn't make the law
("We" didn't make the law)
No, "we" didn't make the law
("We" didn't make the law)
No, "we" didn't make it, "we" didn't take it
"We" didn't break it, "we" didn't fake it
"We" didn't shoot, and "we" didn't burn
And "we" didn't jail, and "we" didn't murder
We don't need to wallow in guilt
We didn't do the shit we've been dealt
We don't need to perform remorse
We need to cut this off at the source
No more!
Don't wanna take collective blame (No more!)
For injustices done in our name (No more!)
It started all before we were born
And now we'll make it never, ever, ever happen anymore
Don't get down on your luck
Humanity is not a fuck
It's like, a thousand assholes, tops
And now we'll get together and we'll make these motherfuckers stop
Don't take collective blame (No more!)
For injustices done in our name (No more!)
It started all before we were born
And now we'll make it never, ever, ever happen anymore
Don't waste your time on feeling bad
Murder victims don't care if you are sad
They were dead before we were born
No more! We'll make it never, ever, ever happen anymore
"We" didn't start the war
("We" didn't start the war)
No, "we" didn't start the war
("We" didn't start the war)
It was the man with the plan in the eight grand suit
