Othering 03:22
I’ve been hearing all your tweets They resonate around my island You say how great it’s gonna be But not for those who seek asylum And all your words are on repeat We listen to your one-way street Your shiny megaphone is trying to drown it out But - we want the truth... We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering You tell your lies and you build divides You spin the web of fear you hide behind You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering Way above you there are richer men And maybe they don’t look so friendly But they got their skills in puppetry And making sure they write the ending And all your words are on repeat We listen to your one-way street Your shiny megaphone is trying to drown it out But - we want the truth We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering You tell your lies and you build divides You spin the web of fear you hide behind You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering Lady of liberty where did you go? Lady of liberty where’s the golden door? “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering You tell your lies and you build divides You spin the web of fear you hide behind You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering

about

This is a song against “Othering” - the division of people into “us” and “them”. Othering increasingly seems to be a political strategy used to create fear and distract from the most pressing issues facing humanity. We need to unite to create a mandate to deal with the huge issues of inequality and the climate crisis.
