Reparations
Dear victim
I'm a long time listener but a first time caller
Dear victim I just wanted to say how sorry
I don't feel about your loss (and my place in it)
A better world?
What would you do in a better world?
But here I go again
Making one more enemy
Oh here it comes again
I said the wrong thing
I did the wrong thing
Tore through your safe space
A slap in the victim's face
An unauthorized opinion in this house of persecution
And you know it does more harm than good but we feed it anyway
Attack, defend, attack again
One of them I'm one of them
Attack, defend, attack again - one of them
So you've got a system down
How to keep them all running around
Dishing out apologies so they never stop to say
"I don't owe you anything - you don't know me and never did"
But when all you want to see is a threat and a loaded weapon
Then sister you know it's guilty of everything
