lyra messier - passive activist lyrics
[verse 1]
you are now breathing manually
how’s that for battling complacency?
in the same street with the same sign at the same time
cherrypicked empathy, a watertight philosophy
how does it feel to make your queer peers feel unsafe?
virtue signal so hard all over their face
congratulations, look at you being a hero!
the skies have cleared and all the children have been saved
we’re welcoming a new member
rainbow club, here’s your id number
read the ten commandments—don’t steal, don’t shame
and don’t you f+cking dare go against the grain
but hey! don’t worry! this is a safe sp+ce
as long as you’re nice and coy and you know your place
here you can sleep so sound
but if you’ll excuse me, i have to go chant for your death now
[chorus]
when the dust has settled, are you proud of yourself?
do you feel empowered or like a massive hypocrite?
it’s all too easy when the horseshoe fits
got much to say, though, for a passive activist
[verse 2]
take a step back
look at yourself
the way you’re using big words makes you sound so self+assured
you’ve got the whole world down to an equation
positive and negative, innocence and evil itself
i’d almost call it ‘chutzpah’, but i don’t think you’d like that
where did that word come from? hmm, mysterious
you can keep your progress flag
but i don‘t ever wanna hear you say ‘intersectional’
[chorus]
when the dust has settled, are you proud of yourself?
do you feel empowered or like a massive hypocrite?
it’s all too easy when the horseshoe fits
got much to say, though for a passive activist
when they come for others, will you shut your mouth?
’cause they will come for you too, and there’ll be no one left for you
it’s all too easy when you’re not on the list
got much to say, though, for a passive activist
