lyrics

I wouldn’t judge you
I wouldn’t haunt you
I could just hear you
If you might want to

You wouldn’t get even
But you would get leaving
If what you were needing
You weren’t receiving

(Getting nowhere is the thinking
Seeing something
Noticing) X 2

Too “boys’ll be boys” (Too “boys’ll be boys” )
So you make a hard choice (So you make a hard choice)
Because something is off when (Something is off when)
You’re losing your own voice (You’re losing your own voice)

No pet peeving (No pet peeving)
No more believing (No more believing)
These patterns of dreaming
Hear what is needed (Hear what is needed)

I wouldn’t judge you (I wouldn’t judge you)
I wouldn’t haunt you (I wouldn’t haunt you)
I could just hear you (I could just hear you)
If you might want to (If you might want to)

You wouldn’t get even (You wouldn’t get even)
But you would get leaving (But you would get leaving)
If what you were needing (If what you were needing)
You weren’t receiving (You weren’t receiving)

Now is the time (Jared Yates Sexton: They pray upon their insecurities)
Now is the time (JYS: They pray upon their fear)
Now is the time (JYS: They pray upon their lack of direction)
Now is the time (JYS: They hand them an armband, they hand them a uniform)

(Jared Yates Sexton: At some point or another I think that capitalism or hyper-capitalism starts to corrode us. And and you know, it turns into a thing where it’s like— How dare you think you deserve better? You know what I mean? As the family unit starts to get squeezed, what actually ends up happening is, in the past, there’s like, here we are, this is our small little group, and we’re all here for each other and we want this. And eventually over time, because capitalism infects everything, it ends up making you a competitor of someone in your own family, and as a result you start to resent their success. You start to see them as turning their back on it.)
