Does the world need another
protest song or are we
just too right to be wrong
just too weak to be strong
why can't people just get along
how many of these songs
do we need sung
before we go up
another ladder rung
when people start to believe
that change is more than a word
and that their lives really do matter
yes, it's about folk being heard
don't give a damn if you are
a jock, a geek, or a nerd
or a far out freak
just let each other speak
out loud -
and maybe we could
try and listen
