As soon as it gets hard

There's no petition we can sign to end poverty
C C F C
Or to make "no" a word with teeth I know there's

But maybe one will be just enough for some dignity
(Stop palm muting here)

Just do the dirt and walk away and don't say shit

We don't know when but the days will come again
