lyrics

There it lies, little dead human
Facing up to the sky
Life sure is too short for these small humans
Wishing, working, stops -- and then falls apart.

Sweeping up this dried up dead human
Throw it into the trash can
And cleaning up the house, and these small humans
Living, working, stops -- and then falls apart.


"And that’s the thing about ignorance
It can seem a lot like an innocent joke
Or it can look a lot like the law
And that’s the thing about ignorance
It can feel a lot like oppression
It can feel a lot like fear

And that’s the thing about fear
You can feel it, around your neck
You can hear it tell you things

And that’s the thing about words
They can put you out on the streets
They can meet you in an alley
They can be sharp things
They can look a lot like blood
They can strike you, knock you down

And that’s the thing about hands
They can be hands or they can be fists
You decide
And that’s the thing about ignorance
It’s a choice, and it’s yours every time."
