This is a song about our government's failure to take steps to address systemic racism, which is so deeply ingrained in our institutions. There's particular focus in this song on our justice system as that is an area I'm familiar with.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Prejudice tainted your judgment again
You acted on colour of skin
Don't use tired tactics to hide and dismiss
Don't try, don't you lie and you best not deny,
That your bias exists

Pre-Chorus:
You lead and you say the magic words
"I hear you, I feel you, your problems are heard"
Then you appoint those who follow old ways
And you give marching orders to challenge all change

Chorus:
You wonder why the streets burn
You question “what have we learned”
Without it they wouldn't be heard
You'd tell them their views absurd

It's time to admit it's real
The pain and the hurt they feel
It’s not just overt hate
It's what our world perpetuates

Verse 2:
On paper, the words and the codes of law
Are neutral, blind justice we saw
But on the ground enforcement is flawed
More arrest, and more deaths, more pain, and more regret
The truth is so raw

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Bridge:
More aggression from police
Harsher sentences unleashed
Your policies demotivate
Cut funding then incarcerate

To those who lead, this stops now
Hear their voice, don't tell them how
Need rules with dedication
Not just moves for polling stations

[Chorus x2]
