lyrics
How easy it must be to not have to think about it
Call it counterfeit, belittle the size of it
The cat's meow becomes the tigers
Claw away, the lines are gray
you cannot say, what is on your mind
You don't care, cause there's no need
You're shying away from the birds and the bees
CHORUS
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
You wanna voice but you don't know how…
victimized, scrutinized
petty causes all disguised
you take the bait, hook line and sink
they care who gets buried, you really think
we're livin' a life, full of cant's
nots, and don'ts, can never be
You don't care, cause there's no need
You're shying away from the birds and the bees
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
YOU SWAT IT AWAY
You want a voice but you don't know how,
You swat it away but it's bigger now
You cannot exist in a place if that place ain't around
There’s only one fight to be had
and we’re losing it, we’re losing it
There’s only one fight to be had
and we’re losing it, we’re losing it
There’s only one fight to be had
and we’re losing it, we’re losing it
There’s only one fight to be had
and we’re losing it, we’re losing it
There’s only one fight to be had
and we’re losing it, we’re losing it
