Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hope I don't bore you if I tell you a story Of what I thought I would see behind these scenes I thought we all could just play My friends would be paid The same as the boys in the bands We'd all get home safe But the water's not rising Is that just a tide that goes back again? [Chorus] Oh, the times haven't changed all that much I feel the wind in my hair but it's not enough When the same people stand in charge This old game we keep playing Keeps breaking my heart [Verse 2] I grew up white privilegеd Did guitar lessons then I got to becomе a musician But I still don't share their drink They throw a little bit on the fire to keep all of us quiet Knowing it'll still burn us We'll keep waiting for our turn [Chorus] Oh, the times haven't changed all that much I feel the wind in my hair but it's not enough When the same people stand in charge This old game we keep playing Keeps breaking my heart [Post-Chorus] Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na [Verse 3] You'd shake your head If I told you what the boys backstage have said But it's under NDAs Flawed people, they say "alcohol made evil" But he'll leave with the millions The woman who signed Will walk home crying in silence [Chorus] Oh, the times haven't changed all that much I feel the wind in my hair but it's not enough When the same people stand in charge This old game we keep playing Keeps breaking my heart [Post-Chorus] Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na [Bridge] I'm sick of silence from boys in bands And I'm tired of talking to heads in sand I know it's hard for everyone and a stage isn't a given I know there's way worse off than us here, singing But our stories are young, broken and cold And I don't want these tokens when these men get gold I don't want to take what I don't deserve I'd just like a revolution now from this little verse [Chorus] The times haven't changed all that much I feel the wind in my hair but it's not enough When the same people stand in charge This old game we keep playing Keeps breaking my heart [Post-Chorus] Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na
