You Are Not What You Believe In | Amy Zhang

We’re all confused,

This world is strange;

We continue to fight,

This world is fake.

This world we’ve built,

Of lies and of spite,

Will continue to crumble

Right before our eyes.

I’ll side with you,

And side against side,

We’ll fight and fight

And fight and fight

And fight and fight



When can we stop?

I don’t know, who won?

Nobody did.

And nobody’s done.

So we continue to fight,

Tainting our hearts

Tainted in hate

And grow further apart.

But did we need to fight?

Well, I guess not.

Why did we then?


……………….


Because you are of one,

And I’m of the other,

Two separate parties

Pit against each other.

But why, if we agree?

Well, we’re side against side.

We have no choice


We have no choice.


Yes we do!

Put our differences aside.

Let’s work together

And solve this with pride.

Let’s make a change -

Instead of just fighting.

Let’s do something instead.


LET’S DO SOMETHING INSTEAD!


………

I don’t see how we can.

I think I’m right.

And I think you’re wrong,

So I’ll continue to fight.


But what of this world,

That we’ve built on our lives?

Will it continue to crumble

Right before our eyes?


It can wait.

It can wait?

It can wait.

So we fight and fight

And nothing will change.
