lyrics

Verse:
As if it weren’t a problem
You promised to be honest
You said that you could solve this fear-fueled hate
The tension building higher
You said you’re not a liar
Each word another claim that you’re self-made

Pre-chorus:
Yet it’s broken now
We’ve broken down
Frozen and hopin that things will change
[With a thought and a prayer]

Chorus:
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time’s up for the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don’t want to wait another year
Time’s up for the bad stuff.

Verse:
They tell me I am too young
To come up with a solution
I’m sick of the excuses that it can’t be done
I’m inheriting your bias
I’m breaking down the prejudice
I wanna build a future for everyone

Pre-chorus:
Cos it’s broken now
I’m speaking out
I wanna stand up and fight back with more
[Than just a thought and a prayer]

Chorus:
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time’s up for the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don’t want to wait another year
Time’s up for the bad stuff.

Bridge:
Not made to discriminate
My mama taught me better
It’s a shame that we have to say
You should know better

Chorus:
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time’s up for the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don’t want to wait another year
Time’s up for the bad stuff.
