It doesn’t take much these days

For points of view to collide

Free speech versus compassion and decency

We shouldn’t have to pick these sides

‘I can say what I want’

And ‘What about my rights’

Just give it up, dude

I won’t lose this fight

Because it’s not about you

And it’s not about me

It’s about everybody

Why don’t you see (that)

I won’t sit down

And I won’t be quiet

Won’t take it like the ‘bitch’ I am

You don’t know your stuff

You’ve gone on long enough

And we both know

I don’t give a damn

(So)

Please just stop talking

(Just stop talking) Right now

I can’t handle this anymore

Haven’t you heard

They aren’t just words

And you don’t speak for the world



We’re all ‘too sensitive’, you say

It’s almost like we think it matters

We don’t find the humor in everything

Because there’s nothing funny about batterers

Poverty, the pay gap, discrimination

Harassment, assault, victimization

This isn’t over but someday it will be

And I think that you should know

(You should really stop)

Please just stop talking

(Just stop talking) Right now

I can’t handle this anymore

Guess you haven’t heard

They aren’t just words

And you don’t speak for the world

Please just stop talking

(Just stop) Please, just stop

I can’t handle this ignorance

You don’t speak for me

And that’s the way it should be

We’re here to make a difference

And just in case

You were wondering

No, this isn’t censorship
