lyrics
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.
