lyrics

White supremacism, classism, politics, and dirty tricks
These are a few of my least favorite things
Homophobes, elitists, bigots, and chauvinists
These are a few of my least favorite things

#MeToo moments, school lockdowns
Poverty, misery, and executions
Fake news attitudes, never listen to the truth
These are a few of my least favorite things

Shooting of the week, shooting of the week
Another guy’s frustrations taken out upon the meek

CHORUS
I want equality, yeah for you and me
I want equality, For every hu-man being
I want equality, so we can live our dreams
I want equality, I want equality

Homelessness, hopelessness, suicide
Basic inequality, lack of human rights
Rich keep getting richer, we can’t get ahead
If global warming doesn’t stop we’re all gonna be dead

Mass extinction of species
And whatever’s happening to all of the bees
Reproductive rights, can’t walk alone at night
The keys to the country only belong to the white

Native people suffering, driven off their land
Privileged people whining when their taxes lend a hand
Democracy’s replaced with plutocracy
More and more this is no more a place I wanna be
It all comes down to how much cash you can pay to succeed

CHORUS
