I could write about my heartbreak, tears on my pillow
Another three-hour album 'bout some guy from Primrose or Soho
Thirty-one songs about who did me wrong
But there's trans kids fighting just to belong

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've got a platform, got a stadium crowd
Could whisper softly or could sing it loud
There's a picket line outside while I'm on stage
Maybe it's time to read a different page

[Chorus:]
This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Not just red flags and who I kissed
Could've talked about the people on the street you missed
While you were writing 'bout your situationship
The world needed more than your relationship
This could've been a protest song!
Guess we'll never know what that sounds like from the strong

[Verse 2:]
You've got a hundred million people listening close
Writing poetry about the one that hurt you most
And there's workers on strike, there's kids going hungry
But track five is crying 'bout some dude from the country

[Pre-Chorus:]
You can rhyme "organize" just as easy as "eyes"
"Solidarity" fits where "butterfly" applies
You're brilliant with words, you're talented and smart
So where's the song about the woman losing her apartment?

[Chorus:]
Even bigger, more defiant
This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Not just shade and who's to blame
Could've used your voice for more than playing games
While you were writing bridge number forty-five
People needed help just trying to survive
This could've been a protest song!
But you were busy being wronged

[Bridge]
I'm not saying don't write about your pain
I'm not saying every track needs a refrain
About revolution, but baby, please
In four years you wrote fifty songs
About the same three guys who did you wrong
Zero about the rent that's climbed
Zero about whose rights are on the line
You could've written one
Just one

This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Could've talked about the nurses' strike
The kids who can't afford a bike
The trans girl scared to use the loo
The mothers working three jobs for just one of you
This could've been a protest song!
Could've shown them how to sing along
To something real, to something true
Could've changed the world
But you chose you

[Outro:]
Could've been a protest song...
Could've been a protest song...
Guess we'll never know
What that sounds like from the throne
