Akira The Don, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson - You‘re Oppressed lyrics

Okay, so here's a problem
There's a big problem here
The problem is it's true

You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed god only knows why
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed (God only knows why)

Maybe you're too short or you're not
As beautiful as you could be
Or your grandparent was a serf
Likely, 'cause almost everybody's
Great grandparent was
And you know, you're not as smart as you
Could be, and you have a sick relative
And you have your own physical problem
Frankly, you're a mess
Frankly, you're a mess
And you're oppressed in every possible way
Including your ancestry and your biology
The entire sum of human history has
Conspired to produce victimized you
With all your individual
Pathological problems it's like yes
True!

You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed god only knows why
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed (God only knows why)

Okay, but the problem is, that it is true
And so if you take the oppressed
You have to fractionate them
And fractionate them, fractionate them, and
Fractionate them and it's like
"You're a woman"
"yeah okay, well, I'm a black woman"
"Well, I'm a black woman
Who has two children"
"Well, I'm a black woman
Who has two children
And one of them isn't very healthy"
And then, "Well I'm a
I‘m a Hispanic woman and I have a
Genius son who doesn't have any money
So that he can't go to university
My husband is an alcoholic brute"
It's like, well yeah that sucks too and so
Let's fix all your oppression
Let's fix all your oppression
Let's fix all your, fix all your
Fix all your oppression
And we will take every
Single thing into account
And then we'll fix yours too
We'll take every single thing into account
No you won't, no you won't, no you won't
Because you can't, you can't
It is technically impossible

You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed god only knows why
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed (God only knows why)

First of all, you can't even list all the
Ways that you're oppressed
Second, how are you gonna weight them?
Third, who's gonna decide?
That's the bloody thing who's gonna decide?
Who's gonna decide? That's the thing
You have to fractionate the
Oppressed all the way
Down to the level of the individual
Well, that's what the West figured out
It's not an accident that the
Axiomatic Western individual is someone
Who was unfairly crossed and tortured
It's like yes, right, exactly!

You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed god only knows why
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed
You're oppressed, you're oppressed
You're oppressed (God only knows why)
So what do you do about that?
Well, I thought about that for a long time
Too it's like
Well you don't get together in the damn mob
All that does is allow you to
Be as horrible as you
Can possibly imagine and suffer from
None of the consequences that's a bad idea
So how about we don't do that
Well, there's a deep idea in the West, too
It's like pick up your damn suffering
And bare it! Try to be a good person
So you don't make it worse!
Well that's a truth, you know?
