There is no them There is just us No boogeyman No vile foe There is no evil Save what’s common In all of us from head to toe Unbroken cycles of misery Hatred upon hatred Piled deep And we wonder why It happens That our cities End up in heaps Let’s end the division And work together No either/or But also/and Let’s reach across These manmade barriers And listen to And understand We’re not going to solve Any problems If we point our fingers And lay the blame If you work for peace And solutions You drop the labels And the names

Us versus Them
There is no them There is just us No boogeyman No vile foe There is no evil Save what’s common In all of us from head to toe Unbroken cycles of misery Hatred upon hatred Piled deep And we wonder why It happens That our cities End up in heaps Let’s end the division And work together No either/or But also/and Let’s reach across These manmade barriers And listen to And understand We’re not going to solve Any problems If we point our fingers And lay the blame If you work for peace And solutions You drop the labels And the names
