This song was written as a critique of “social justice warriors,” or more simply people who put others down in the name of social progress.
[Verse 1:]
What does it take to be a hero?
Does is take commitment and empathy?
Can I go out of my way to help people?
Or just put on a fake mask?
[Pre-Chorus:]
You know it's a problem when
[Chorus:]
They strike you down to lift you up
Break your bone to produce dust
Then point a finger and get offended at everything
It's an issue if you don't know how to cry
Manufacture emotion from a fucking child
Then tell me that I'm not special
And I don't deserve to live, well fuck you
[Verse 2:]
Do I need something to believe in?
Like my own gender and my skin?
My sexuality is too normal
I'm just an asshole, I guess
[Pre-Chorus:]
You know it's a problem when
[Chorus:]
They strike you down to lift you up
Break your bone to produce dust
Then point a finger and get offended at everything
It's an issue if you don't know how to cry
Manufacture emotion from a fucking child
Then tell me that I'm not special
And I don't deserve to live, well fuck you
[Post-Chorus:]
Just fuck you
[Verse 3:]
I wish that I was a bit different
Maybe then I could finally fit in
It's quite the crime just to be simple
'Cause I'm treated normally
[Pre-Chorus:]
You know it's a problem when
[Chorus:]
They strike you down to lift you up
Break your bone to produce dust
Then point a finger and get offended at everything
It's an issue if you don't know how to cry
Manufacture emotion from a fucking child
Then tell me that I'm not special
And I don't deserve to live, well fuck you
[Post-Chorus:]
Just fuck you
[Bridge:]
It sure is hard hating on others
'Cause that's totally what I always do
I'll tell you what I've recently noticed
So come in close for a little secret
Nobody wants to be alone
Not you, nor me, nor him, nor her
[Pre-Chorus:]
You know it's a problem when
[Chorus:]
They strike you down to lift you up
Break your bone to produce dust
Then point a finger and get offended at everything
It's an issue if you don't know how to cry
Manufacture emotion from a fucking child
Then tell me that I'm not special
And I don't deserve to live, well fuck you
[Pre-Chorus:]
Just fuck you
Yeah, fuck you
Fuck you
Oh, fuck you
Just fuck you
Fuck you and your warriors
Yeah, fuck you
Fuck you
[Chorus:]
They strike you down to lift you up
Break your bone to produce dust
Then point a finger and get offended at everything
It's an issue if you don't know how to cry
Manufacture emotion from a fucking child
Then tell me that I'm not special
And I don't deserve to live, well fuck you
[Post-Chorus:]
Just fuck you
Yeah, fuck you
Fuck you
Yeah, fuck you
Just fuck you
Yeah, fuck you
Fuck you
Just fuck you
