Brielle Familiar
deficit of balance

—

They’re spewing hateful speech on TV

You can’t control my mind

The fear I feel will never be

Stronger than what’s right

—

I mull this over bussing tables

Til the neon open sign goes out

—

PRE-CHORUS

Oh my my my

I gotta be braver than I’ve ever been

And in due time

This generation’s gonna rise up

—

CHORUS

Obvious we’re fighting a war on information

Deficit of balance, corruption would define it

Our voices won’t be silenced

—

They hold us hostage

Beat us bloody

They’re sending out more spies

With watchful eyes in every corner

Censorship might soon destroy us

—

But we won’t talk to the cops

You can’t keep us in line

It’s not your body not your brain not your freedom to decide

—

PRE-CHORUS

—

CHORUS

—

I’m staying out late now

Escaping dads steakhouse

When mother says to stay at home

Thats what the good girls do…

—

I never claimed to be behaved

I’m out diggin’ up the truth

—

Cause I believe in autonomy

Yea I believe in a different system

I believe in equality

I believe in making changes
