listen - power alone lyrics

[verse 1]
we are not in competition
understanding each other shouldn’t feel like a threat
denial of the reality that others have to face
confident in your beliefs that conveniently keep you at peace
you’ve got it so backwards
i can’t tell what side you’re on
your refusal to acknowledge
that maybe things aren’t as simple as they seem
it’s bigger than a fringe group of ignorant, hateful bigots
you act as though decades of systematic disenfranchis*m*nt had no real effects
as though media played no role in shaping a culture at large
“conditioned from the start and controlled from all directions,”
instilling in us ideals, biases, and norms
passively accepting a specific worldview
programming our minds in our very own homes
you say there’s no problem
or that addressing one makes it worse
i say it must be nice to be so complacent that you, you can’t even see

[verse 2]
how many times have we had this conversation?
or are you just not listening?
it’s not your fault, doesn’t mean that you don’t benefit
maybe deep down, you’re ok with it?
socialized to believe the subjugation of people is necessary
to maintain the social order and the dominant class’ comfort

[outro]
how many times have we had this conversation?
or are you just not listening?
it must be nice to be so complacent you can’t even see
