Lyrics from Genius:

Yeah

Stand for something or fall for anything

I'm sick, but it's game time

Ay

[Verse 1]

The world's on fire, we don't own the water, y'all

Inmates hired for a couple dollars, y'all

New era ushered, but white supremacy is still in charge

Talkin' colonizing Gaza from the White House lawn

But the people mobbin', and we ain't backin' off

Finally see the oligarchy and men that control us all

Tax breaks for the elite, and then they taxin' y'all

Killin' Palestinian kids and we gettin' hit with the cost

Why the fuck you think you can't afford the rent in your building?

And you can't afford groceries? In debt, in your feelings

And you know how the West thinks: it's all about the West banks

Call a ceasefire, then start annexing the West Bank

How you think Israel gets money for the best tanks?

And Netanyahu loves Trump, he's like, "Yup, thanks!"

That's your money, and yes, it's all connected

And they controllin' your feed, the information that they censor

Blockin' hashtags, can't say "#FreePalestine"

It's two weeks in, think where we'll be around July

But you know us Americans: outta sight, outta mind

And they know it, too – that's why they runnin' game on our lives

[Chorus]

But they got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

[Verse 2]

You can bomb a mosque, but you can't bomb faith

You can kill people – resistance grows in the wake

And while our president sends billions to Israel's safes

Ethnic cleansing's never gonna make Israelis feel safe

More blood, more weapons, more money, more oppression

More hate, more fear, more walls, and more settlements

The colonizer just spoke to us at the White House

What we said was gonna happen is happening right now

Nah – they marchin' home, yeah, that's resilience

Millions celebrating like the world was walking with 'em

You in the palm of God? No man will ever catch you flinchin'

They can never burn the olive tree that lives within 'em

The next four years, it's time to ride

Fuck ICE, free Congo, Sudan, and Palestine

If you still haven't said shit about the genocide

Know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you, "Why?"

[Chorus]

They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

And Elon, we talkin' cobalt on the next one

Glad this is finally picking up views. The political climate broke Macklemore, of all people. What the hell are we doing?

This inspired me to revolt, but I got nowhere to be until 50501... Alas.
