about

Pick Sides is a song about the ways in which we divide ourselves into binaries (republican/democrat, gay/straight, male/female, etc) and how those institutionalized binaries keep us from truly understanding each other.

lyrics

We say goodnight
But everybody’s talking, everybody’s talking
Are you left or right?
Everybody’s fighting, everybody’s fighting

We pick sides, we pick sides
Then cover both our ears and our eyes

You say goodnight
You bought yourself a gun, you think it makes you safer
And stop telling me
What to do with my body, it’s my fucking body

We pick sides, we pick sides
And won’t rest till we’re categorized

We pick sides

You say goodnight
But everybody’s talking
If I run and hide
I’m never gonna see you eye to eye
I’m never gonna hear you, hear your point of view
We’re living in our old days
Dressing up as new

We pick sides, we pick sides
Then cover both our ears and our eyes

We pick sides
