Lyrics

You say "Where's the Humanity"?
I say, I can relate.
You say "We're close to Insanity."
I say, I can relate.
You say, "(Insert Profanity)"
I say, I can relate.
I can relate!

I relate to every outraged word,
Every Protest song I've ever heard,
And when you say we must Stand Up, I'm there!
I will stand by anyone who says
They will stand up for the ones who dread
All the edicts from the US King, I care!

When you say you Won't Keep Quiet
I say, I can relate.
When you say we can't deny it,
I say I can relate.
When you say we need a Riot,
I say I can relate -
but No, I don't go there.

But, I relate to every outraged word,
Every Protest song I've ever heard,
And when you say, "We must Stand Up, Prepare"!
I will stand by anyone who says
They will stand up for the ones who dread
All the edicts from the US King, I'm There!

Bridge:
You say they've bought the Supreme Court,
You say the time is getting short,
You say this is not what I endorse,
Of course!
You say they're loading up the planes,
And they'll do it till no one remains,
All our thoughts and bodies put in chains,
Who gains?

So, Relate to every outraged word,
Every Protest song you've ever heard,
And when you say, "We must Stand Up, Prepare"!
We'll stand by anyone who says
They will stand up for the ones who dread
All the edicts from the US King, Be There!
Relate!
