about

This song was written after reading VT Digger's article on the sexual misconduct of Ben Bergstein.

lyrics

A young woman - nicely dressed
Touched and groped - without consent
A black man - killed in the street
At the hand - of the police

Chorus:
Is this the way the world is? Is this the way the world is? (repeat)

I’m powerless (intimidation)
A piece of meat (objectification)
I’m all alone (isolation)
I can’t breathe (suffocation)

[Chorus]

What’s the hesitation? We need an explanation
All the accusations, all the allegations
All the violations, we need investigations
These abominations, our obligations

Am I screaming into the wind?
Sometimes it feels like I’m screaming into the wind, whoa

I’m powerful (determination)
I’m not alone (realization)
I can breathe (rejuvenation)
You’ll get yours (retaliation)

This is the final straw, no one is above the law
But if you continue this harassment, we’ll whoop your ass, man

Hear my voice - it’s not just me
Here we stand - solidarity
Knock them down - set us free
Build a safe - community (repeat)

This is the way the world is. This is the way the world is. (repeat)
Is this the way the world is? Is this the way the world is?
Is this the way the world is? Is this the way?
