i used to want to get behind
an issue that i knew i'd fight for
now i'm slowly realizing
that it's all in vain
twenty groups for twenty causes
advocate against injustice
and for leaders to be dealt with
rallying in vain
i see the difference makers
handing out their flyer papers
and i see the difference made
and how it's thrown away in vain
the problematic pecking orders
call on student-hero folklore
answering their questions with
a vigil held in vain
