lyrics

Always building an effigy, for something that will never breathe

But has a life beyond what you need, and what it exists for

Though I wish I had known you then, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be friends

Because who you were and what I am, could not have worked the same

Now your eyes are so open wide, so much so that they've open mine

And what I see I don't really like, I'm glad I'm not alone

While we're eating this Popsicle, should I get all political?

Kind of want to but I don't know it all, that never stopped anyone before



I often look the other way, if it means less work for me

And the privilege I deny still gets used most of the time

I say I'm charming brave and wise, that's my excuse for why



I know the answers cause I'm a man and my skin is white

The specific questions don't really matter, I know I'm right

And your concrete goals, overwhelming polls, all the data on your side

Is just an opinion I can fight



I often look the other way, if it means less work for me

For me the money's always best, I'm not on the side that gets less

I get paid more cause of my sex, that's what I've come to expect



I often run the other way, cause it means less work for me

If I reflect on what I've seen, I escape to another screen

Cause the questions that come through are uncomfortable and true

Exposing the things I do as a distracting ruse
