We Need to Talk

"“We Need to Talk” Verse 1: We need to talk but we’ve forgotten how Every word’s a weapon pointed at us now You hear attack in everything I say I hear lies in yours the very same way Chorus: We need to talk, we need to argue Like people who still give a damn Not just score points or play for cameras But try to understand We need to talk Verse 2: You’re praising someone who would burn it down I’m calling you a fascist, you’re calling me a clown But somewhere underneath this bitter fight We both still think that we’re fighting for what’s right Chorus: We need to talk, we need to argue Like people who still give a damn Not just score points or play for cameras But try to understand We need to talk Verse 3: I don’t know how to reach you anymore When you worship at an authoritarian’s door But if we can’t find some common ground Then everything we built comes tumbling down Chorus: We need to talk, we need to argue Like people who still give a damn Not just score points or play for cameras But try to understand We need to talk Bridge: Maybe we start with what we both have lost Maybe we count up what this silence cost Maybe we risk looking like fools And break our own unspoken rules Final Chorus: We need to talk"
