Invisible Uprising
I wish we were as untouchable as we are invisible.
Marching, marching in the streets
While blood is running in the sheets
Children, adults, neighbors, friends
The list goes on and never ends
“Not all men” “let me explain”
“You’re not alone so don’t complain”
Trafficked, raped, molested, dead
This issue isn’t in our head
They’re grabbing pussies right and left
Laughing when we call it theft
What must I wear before you decide
That you are not allowed inside
Women dressed from head to toe
You still can’t hear her screaming no
What safeword must the world invent
Where are you Mr. President
“The rape kit we took was inconclusive”
“Time magazine ran the exclusive”
“Your judge was unsympathetic”
“Stop crying snowflake it’s pathetic”
“You wore a dress above your knees
Not asking for it? Sweetheart, please.”
“Oh you’re a guy, well that solves it
Too scared to come out of the closet”
“A woman raped you? Can’t be done.
Go home and do your homework son.”
“The defendant has a better lawyer”
“Bail paid upfront, free the destroyer”
“No health insurance anymore
Take your problems out the door
No therapy if you can’t pay
No one cares if you die today”
No ones listening, can’t you see
They don’t hear him or her or me
“You’re marching again and holding signs
Oh hey, that one has a cool design
Occupy Wall Street or BLM
A women’s march? Oh, screw them.
Put down your signs and quit your bitchin’
Quietly go back to the kitchen
We’re going back to the good old days
And that’s where it’s going to stay
Whites in power, work for the men
We’ll have a civil war and then
We’ll move on to the Middle East
No more of this talk of peace
Bomb Korea take it down
No one here needs them around”
“My button's bigger and more shiny
I’m compensating for my tiny...
I know I promised no more drama
But I was given this mess, thanks Obama
The shutdown then was preventable
But with all these liberals this is inevitable
Why are they always so upset
What is it they expect to get
Basic human rights and stuff
No I think they’ve had enough”
My knees give out and hit the floor
I just can’t take this anymore
The scream is building through my tears
I put my hands over my ears
Can’t drown out the awful sound
Of all the victims in the ground
The restless dead in stereo
Every voice is screaming “NO”
But you can’t hear a single voice
Stealing every right to choice
Acting like you’re the hero here
I think it’s time to introduce YOU to fear
