about

This song is to try encourage us to action. Remember that sometimes you aren't the main character and it's ok to be a supporting character for others - especially minoritized groups. But sometimes you can be the hero we need.

lyrics

Are you overwhelmed by how the real world
is a genuine dystopian nightmare
but everyone keeps acting normal?

you are the protagonist
in this our shared dystopian
apocalyptic nightmare
so act like it!
bend the plot to your will
wear whatever you want
build the future you want to see
and Fight for your community

A system based on infinite economic growth
does not fit a planet with limited resources

you are the protagonist
in this our shared dystopian
apocalyptic nightmare
so act like it!
bend the plot to your will
wear whatever you want
build the future you want to see
and Fight for your community

capitalism tricks you into thinking
freedom is 27 flavors of ice cream
instead of material conditions
that allow for the pursuit of your creative potential

I want to be creative,
but all my energy is spent surviving

you are the protagonist
in this our shared dystopian
apocalyptic nightmare
so act like it!
bend the plot to your will
wear whatever you want
build the future you want to see
and Fight for your community

we are the protagonists
in this our shared dystopian
apocalyptic nightmare
let's act like it!
bend the plot to our will
wear whatever we want
build the future we want to see
and Fight for our community
