[Negative Øhio, NXP - Check by You, We Can’t Wake Your Ass in Hollywood lyrics]
One day you're an idol
Someone they all admire the next
You're telling them all
Their identities don't matter
And that they're dangerous for
Simply existing
It happens all the time someone we admire
Someone who we are
Convinced would stand with us
Will instead try to please
Fascists and bigots
Who probably don't even like their work
But will jump at the opportunity
To ridicule those in need
Those who have always been pushed around
Told that their identities don't matter
And that they're dangerous
For simply existing
The next tragedy may be that of your daughter
Or your son or yours
Or yours or yours
Yes
You say you're awake
But we can't wake your ass in Hollywood
We can't wake your ass in broadcasting
We can't wake your ass from that writing desk
We can't wake your fucking ass in Hollywood
Fuck fuck
Fuck fuck
Someone they all admire the next
You're telling them all
Their identities don't matter
And that they're dangerous for
Simply existing
It happens all the time someone we admire
Someone who we are
Convinced would stand with us
Will instead try to please
Fascists and bigots
Who probably don't even like their work
But will jump at the opportunity
To ridicule those in need
Those who have always been pushed around
Told that their identities don't matter
And that they're dangerous
For simply existing
The next tragedy may be that of your daughter
Or your son or yours
Or yours or yours
Yes
You say you're awake
But we can't wake your ass in Hollywood
We can't wake your ass in broadcasting
We can't wake your ass from that writing desk
We can't wake your fucking ass in Hollywood
Fuck fuck
Fuck fuck
