lyrics

We need some more men to read books,
To learn all the words, that we need to hear,
Like refugees they come on boats,
And they need a home,
They’re nothing to fear,

Stand beside me,
We’re all just people,
People at the end of the world,

We need some more women in charge,
Perhaps then we’ll see the world start to heal,
Instead of us all burning up,
Instead of us all having to kneel,

Stand beside me,
We’re all just people,
People at the end of the world,

We need some great men to read books,
To learn of those words, that we need to hear,
Like things that are real and are true,
Like virus and war, we need the all clear,

Stand beside me,
We’re all just people,
People at the end of the world,
