Good Trouble 03:38
Good Trouble Never let ‘em tell you you’re too young to know. Some gave blood for the right to vote. Speak truth to power and get in the way. If it’s not right, it’s not fair, have something to say And like John said, get in good trouble And like John said, get in good trouble Necessary trouble. Teargas, batons and their eyes of hate Then they say “just be patient and wait” Freedom can’t come gradually It’s not right, it’s not fair, have something to say And like John said, get in good trouble And like John said, get in good trouble Necessary trouble. Wake up America Speak up America Stand up America It’s not too late And like John said, get in good trouble And like John said, get in good trouble Necessary trouble.

On Second Thought There’s a man walking down the street I can see that he looks different from me My first thought tells me a story About violence, about fear About all the news I’ve watched over the years But on second thought I can choose another story On second thought I can change the world I see I have the power to create the person I want to be So I choose who I am On my second thought There’s a woman working at the checkout stand By the way she speaks, she’s from a different land My first thought tells me a story About where she might belong Then I catch myself and recognize my wrong So on second thought I will choose another story On second thought I will change the world I see I have the power to create the person I want to be So I choose who I am On my second thought Every one of us is on our own life’s journey And our past is something that we can’t deny But if we listen to each other We can build a better future When we work together We can lift the sky On second thought We can choose another story On second thought we change the world we see We have the power to create the future we want to be If we choose who we are Yes, we choose who we are When we choose who we are On our second thought

Oh say can’t you see? (white rose society) Your dad signed up in ‘43 To fight the fascists overseas Now you don’t hear the irony Coming from your tv screen Oh say can’t you see? It’s the same throughout history You turn your face away so silently Hiding the good I see in you, From me. There’s so much information You don’t want to choose You just change the conversation And let your echoes be your truth. Oh say can’t you see? It’s the same throughout history You turn your face away so silently Hiding the good I see in you, From me. You’re not the type of person To be cruel or unkind You taught us this was wrong So how can we be blind? Oh say can’t you see? It’s the same throughout history This isn’t how it has to be It’s not too late for you And me. Oh say can’t you see? It’s the same throughout history Turning away from your morality It’s not too late for you And me
