If you ask me on a good day What we need to change the world I'll tell you "each other" If you ask me on a bad day I'll look you in the eyes and tell you "What we need are more riots" We need people out in the streets We need a little fire, chaos, and to embrace our friends like its the end And I would say both answers are realistic Realistic in the way that I don't have an actual plan
There's a reason I'm not an insurrectionist Because while freedom is out there If I only reach out and take it You don't know how hard it is for me to reach out and turn off my alarm in the mornings So I tip my hats to all the Dean Moriartys out in the world Those beautiful adventurous people who go to marches and take a stand or take their whole life and move across states People who know what it means to "live like you mean it" I have trouble knowing if I really mean anything I say anymore, much less what I do I've always been more of a Sal Paradise anyways The background character in my own story Writing the chronicles of all the Roman candle people Beautifully illuminating in the night sky
But I still haven't wrote myself off completely And I hope you haven't either Because there are still times where there's power in my step and fire in my mouth I was born a militant apathetic All that's left for me is the right catalyst and I promise I'll burn brighter than all the molotovs thrown in Greece And while I can't promise to make total destroy I can promise that I'll try my best to fight when I'm needed Because all we need is each other Today's gonna be A good day
