Denied, words don't come easy when you're young No they don't come, no they don't come at all Got that way of saying I'll be fine somehow I'm stepped on I'll overcome Blank stares and faces tried to shut me down I'm stepped on I'll overcome Denied, words don't come easy when you're young

The autumn was so intense I could hear the leaves fall It's ours Action into moments Our art is in the movement It's ours The autumn was so intense And the summer was dying We were taking back some dignity It's ours As the snow started falling We were already gone It's ours As the snow started falling The autumn was so intense I could hear the leaves fall It's ours Action into moments Our art is in the movement It's ours The autumn was so intense

Someone or something At least some kind of reaction Not just the reactionary hum Of agreeing with the argument Just not the form I try to comprehend There are no words left Can't hear you now There's just contempt left This force might seem unstoppable When put into momentum In the locker rooms and class rooms In the school yards And in our homes Someone or something At least some kind of reaction Not just the reactionary scum Making this land safe For the pretty white children I try to comprehend There are no words left Can't hear you now There's just contempt left I try to comprehend There are no words left

Across the room on the second floor Where you're cheap life lies, spread out for more I've seen it all at least a thousand times Watch you drench your sorrows with their gift of lies Have you already clocked out, a silver sigh to deaf mind It's not the first time, no it's not the first time It has happened several times Have you already clocked out, a silver sigh to deaf mind It's not the first time, no it's not the first time Along your life where your cheap excuses lie Your current state is tomorrow's cries I've seen it all and passed it along Welcome to the real world, welcome It has happened several times

This room takes the best of me So help me So help me Privilege got me soaking in shame Oh help me Oh help me And I got what I deserved Spitting, screaming and stumbling Waking up, waking up from the comfort of home and my fear of the other No more, no more will I play the part that was laid out for me And I got what I deserved Now get me out of here Can't move Can't sleep Should wash these dirty hands And brush my teeth And I got what I deserved Spitting, screaming and stumbling Waking up, waking up from the comfort of home and my fear of the other No more, no more will I play the part that was laid out for me And I got what I deserved Now get me out of here Oh help me Oh help me Oh help me

Obey, you'll see disinformation has come now To set you free Your race is lost, multiply, sum it up And pay the cost Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone That's what you get Sacrifice, sacrifice my heart, turn me around and we'll go Back to the start Obtain, of course, your needs I don't need To explain Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone That's what you get Obey, you'll see time has come to question And questions are free Your race is us, multiply, sum it up And return your post Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone That's what you get

A good posture Use the crayons when you're asked to Keep a straight face at all times The words I scribble in the margin So much more A good posture They'll clip your wings before you notice Lined up for competition They stole our subject position Five fingers across the black board Only one to wave goodbye Five fingers form a fist now
