about

We're not going back to normal after the pandemic. We can do better

lyrics

We’re not going back to normal,
That’s not what we need,
Normal’s driven by the religion of greed
Normal was racism, violence and hate
Normal made poverty a permanent state
Normal was built on fear and dread
We’re not going back to normal
Like oil, it is dead

We’re moving up to awesome,
That’s where we need to be
Awesome’s made from love and empathy
Awesome starts with equality
Awesome sounds like harmony
Awesome doesn’t leave anybody behind
We’re moving up to awesome
Awesome is alive

Normal didn’t care, normal wasn’t fair
Normal only works if you’re a billionaire
Normal was children locked up in a cage
Normal never paid a living wage
Normal meant you never got ahead
We’re not going back to normal
Like oil, it is dead

Normal was waging endless war
Normal was not what we bargained for
Normal was designed to fail
Normal was a Hollywood fairy tale
Normal couldn’t keep everybody fed
We’re not going back to normal,
Let’s get awesome instead
