He says, "can't you see, we can't see out"
He says, "all we learn is how to not learn"
He says, "we're just kids having a kid"
Did you hear him? I don't think we did.
Chorus
We don't need one thing to change
We need everything to stop
staying the same
There's no one person who deserves the blame
but we're stuck
year after year after year after year after year after year
He says, "don't you get it, we can't get out"
He says, "there's little left of what we left behind"
He says, "all we've done is wait since this all began"
Can you hear him? I don't think we can.
Chorus
When can he finally be free of poverty?
When will he no longer be a refugee?
When can he finally be free of poverty?
When will he no longer be a refugee?

In songs that swing from giant and anthemic to distortion-caked and widescreen, Lightning Cult conjure galaxies of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2022
