about

This was actually written to be a song for The Rough Idles. Rigby wrote some of the words and also sings on the full band version. This song is very simply about fighting and dealing with people on facebook and the rest of the internet. Especially if you are in a position of privilege, I feel like it is vitally important to try your best to bring people in and have healthy discussions when you find problematic and offensive ideas being shared. It seems too easy to just react with anger or sarcasm or just straight up block people. I struggle with this alot. But if we truly care about changing minds and making this world a better place, we need to figure out what's effective and take care of the people around us. Sometimes this is not doable and it really isn't your job to educate people, but all of us deserve respect and to have our ideas challenged and questioned respectfully so that we can grow.

This does NOT apply to anyone who likes mustard. Mustard is awful and anyone who likes it can go straight to hell.

lyrics

I’m losing my patience, I’m losing my grace
I’m getting a headache, and starting to pace
back and forth, finger on temple
I swear to god, I swear to fucking god

This ain’t the way it needs to be, but it’s happening
ignorance is driving me up the fucking wall
another piece of shit, another argument
another god damn free for all

But we hold on strong, and move forwards
this fucking world ain’t gonna change itself
yeah we’re dying, but we’re fighting
for even the fuckheads, yeah even the fuckheads

Because every oppressor is a victim
and every bully's just a kid
and every murderer and jailer
was once a baby in a crib

Change takes time and there’s a lot on the line
there’s a lot to do, so let’s keep up the pace
and every time we win them over
we start to change this fucked up place

So let’s hold on strong, and move forwards
this fucking town ain’t gonna change itself
yeah we’re dying, but we’re fighting
for even the fuckheads, yeah even the fuckheads

We gotta be teachers, we gotta be friends
we gotta be family, and make amends
because no one else is gonna do this for us
yeah no one else is gonna do it for us
