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
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
Mmm what about us
Hey, hey, hey, they cry, it's about us
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
They cry, hey, hey, what about us
They cry, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, what about us
