You and Me and Everyone Else

Can you see this boat is leaking?

Can you feel the water rise?

Can you help or will you turn and flee and hide your eyes?

It's a house we built together.

And we got here hand in hand.

Then we both went to our corners, joining our own band.

It's you over there and me over here now.

Both scanning the far horizon in fear now.

We block out the storm that's coming, and search for where to hide.

It's you and me and ev'ryone else.

Sign up --

Choose a side.

You and me and ev'ryone else.

Line up --

Terrified.

Back before this whole thing started,

Back before we paved this road,

We ignored that when you light the fuse, the bombs explode.

You and me and ev'ryone else.

Steady --

Speak the code.

You and me and ev'ryone else.

Ready --

Lock and load.

Back up. Don't blink.

Stand tall. Don't think.

Ignite the flame.

Clear eyes, take aim.

Don't like your skin.

You can't come in.

We've got our wall.

Bend down, then crawl.

Back straight, head up.

We're all fed up.

Feels good to fight,

And more, to know that I'm right.

I'm following close the course you are charting.

Get ready to dance, the music is starting.

Our song is an ode to anger, and one we love to hum.

You and me and ev'ryone else.

Hear me

Bang my drum.

You and me and ev'ryone else.

Look out --

Here I come.

Back up. Don't blink.

Stand tall. Don't think.

Ignite the flame.

(Can you see this boat is leaking?)

Clear eyes, take aim.

Back straight, head up.

We're all fed up.

(Can you feel the water rise?)

Feels good to fight.

No more. I'm right.
