Letra de I Don't Want Solidarity If It Means Holding Hands With You

Let's stop this talk of privilege
Because the songs that we sing are as much a product of our privilege as the clothes on my back and the phone call i made to my mom last night
Let's stop this talk of action because action comes easy it's the moments just before that are hard, when I've got to get my voice and my fist on the same page as my heart
Let's stop this talk of them because the things we find deplorable in politicians, CEOs and cops are the same things that will tear ourselves apart
And let's stop this talk of words because words like dishonesty, selfishness, and laziness, and greed aren't as distanct to us as we'd like to believe
So please, the next time you're smashing the state, don't go breaking my heart
Because i know that when we pick up the pieces, the only thing left will be the same empty rubble that's made up every revolution that I've ever known to make me believe and lose faith in humanity in the same empty breath of hot air
They say that the beauty's in the streets
But when i look around, it seems more like defeat
I'm afraid that this fight that we're all caught up in
Will make us the same as that which we oppose
So please, the next time you're smashing the state, don't go breaking my heart
But i know that we can pick up the pieces and build something new, something different. that's not like every revolution that i've ever known that can make me believe and have faith in humanity and we'll all breath a breath of fresh air
