Marty Byrne - Amplified 150 Lyrics

I see the way stories are white washed
A version of truth rewrites history
I see that it's f*cking exhausting
For some people to fight every day just to be

We don't have to take on the world
We just have to admit what is f*cking wrong
And stand in solidarity

There are people who need to be heard and seen
For their complete lives
Not just some bad news on TV

There are people who need to be amplified
Not for their money, power and pride
For some people, just to exist in this world takes everything

I saw a thing today It said,
For every outrage and injustice you see
You should spend ten times that energy

Amplifying the lives
Of people you know that are marginalized
We should celebrate and lift up our humanity

There are people who need to be heard and seen
For their complete lives
Not just some bad news on TV

There are people who need to be amplified
Not for their money, power and pride
For some people, just to exist in this world takes everything
