Make songs, make art, make love, make peace, make moves, make do
I don’t give a fuck
All I know is now’s the time to make shit right
Can’t you see that the world is burning up?
[Verse 1]
While I’m tired of fighting for my right to live love as I am
I can't sit and watch our fates be fucked by those who don’t give a damn
I see bombs and wars and guns and Trumps and blood and I’m like what the fuck?
The state of the world makes me wonder if our time’s running out or if it’s almost up
[Pre Chorus]
I can’t help but cry while all our lives are on the line for dumb things
I can't help feeling like one by one we’re being chased and hunted
[Chorus]
Make songs, make art, make love, make peace, make moves, make do
I don’t give a fuck
All I know is now’s the time to make shit right
Can’t you see that the world is burning up?
[Verse 2]
While I’m tired of fighting for my right to live love as I am
I can't sit and watch our fates be fucked by those who don’t give a damn
I see KKK and neo-nazis and racists and I’m like are you crazy?
Black kids killed by cops one by one is all I’ve got on my mind as of lately
[Pre Chorus]
All I do is cry while all our lives are lost to the injustice
All of the damn time, I’m so damn tired, I find hate crimes disgusting
[Bridge]
If you care just a little bit don’t be a lost generation
If you care just a little bit don’t be our last generation
Vote, march and contest
Go out and voice your dissent
Don't think it's all in jest
All my songs are forms of protest
[Chorus]
Make songs, make art, make love, make peace, make moves, make do
I don’t give a fuck
All I know is now’s the time to make shit right
Can’t you see that the world is burning up?
