Of Nothing

We must do something, while doing nothing We yell to the crowds, by walking in silence Even nothing, just being sparks the hatred Doing nothing, we are harmless, yet they will harm us And we must do nothing If you stand up, you are shot down If you speak up, you are shot down If you act up, you are shot down So you must do nothing By this we cope, and stand for nothing Hope for nothing Expect nothing Are treated like nothing A man got up and spoke for something People marched in peace for something Children sang and cried for something They all did, were, and received something It took years, pain, and perseverance To win their something Even today they still fight for their something So do not be or do nothing And wonder why nothing changes
