Changing the system (and ourselves) to be more just, more inclusive, more equitable, and more compassionate will create a better world for all of us.

lyrics

When you came to the door, she didn’t say yes
She didn’t say maybe she didn’t say guess
But you didn’t mind, you decided to let yourself in

You took the head of the table, 
You said here are the rules
What’s mine is mine what’s yours is, too.
Don’t ask any questions those days have come to an end

Cause back in the good days, a man was a man
Some got to sit down, some had to stand
You’ve all lost your way, so now I’m here to teach you again

But we’re not going back, no matter how hard you try
We spent too much time at the back of the line
If there’s one thing you learn, it’s how to get up and fight
We spent too much time at the back of the line

You said you can’t trust your family, you can’t trust your friends,
You can’t trust your neighbors so don’t let them in,
You can’t trust your eyes, I’ll tell you the things that you see

When we raise our hands, you raise your fist
You say throwing punches is just common sense
But be careful my friend, all those punches don’t come for free

Yeah we’re not laying down, no matter how hard you try
We spent too much time at the back of the line
If there’s one thing you learn, it’s how to get up and fight
We spent too much time at the back of the line

When the walls start to crumble, the well starts to fail
And all of your phone calls are coming from jail
You might start to wonder is this where I belong?

By the time you get wise, and you look around
You won’t find the horses that brought you to town
And the train that we’re all gettin on is already gone

And we’re not coming back, no matter how hard you try
We spent too much time at the back of the line
If there’s one thing you learn, it’s how to get up and fight
We spent too much time at the back of the line

And you don’t want to be kind, no you don’t understand why
Well maybe it’s your turn for the back of the line
