Rising Appalachia, Ani DiFranco - Speak Out lyrics

Who are you? What have you become?
What have you done to this beautiful kingdom?

I don’t want your guns
I don’t want your poisons
I don’t want your weapons and
Tools of mass distractions
I don’t want your red flags
Don’t want your baggage
I don’t want your hate speech your supremacy

Where are your wilds?
Where is your rough edge?
Don’t tell me you’ve traded it
For comfort and privilege
I don’t want your fast foods
I don’t need to buy shit
I don’t want your miles
And miles of advertisements

So step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud

Pеace of mind or a piece of thе pie
Nine to five living in a plastic empire
Where is the house for
The wounded and homeless
Can’t sleep in the streets
Can’t afford to own this

Everything is I, I, Me, Me, Mine, Mine
Busy working for the dollar while
The well runs dry
Minimum wages maximum security
Simple pleasure traded for
Business and authority

So step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud

Be loud be loud
