lyrics

Verse 1:

What happened to “Stick's & Stones could
really break my bones, but
words don't weigh a dime, so they won't
hurt me.”?

Cause now here comes the word police.
“Wrong opinions are hate speech!”
Meanwhile, I am far off from the beach:

Chorus:

I’m just a straw in the ocean.
There’s water all around.
It goes in one end, out the other.
No harm has it done.
And I don’t need a goddamn safespace
cause these waves can’t make me blue.
I’m just a straw in the ocean,
& that you should be too.

Verse 2:

Logic, Reason, Discourse. They
all go down the drain when you
pull the plug on every tub in the
US fucking A.

What happened to discussions that
live respectfully? We
all tread through the waters of
opinionated sea.

Chorus:

I’m just a straw in the ocean.
There’s water all around.
It goes in one end, out the other.
No harm has it done.
And I don’t need a goddamn safespace
cause these waves can’t make me blue.
I’m just a straw in the ocean,
& that you should be too.

Just a straw in the ocean,
& that you should be too.
