lyrics

I wish I wrote protest songs about bigotry
And phobias masked as policies
Dismantling capitalist legacies
Denials of our human rights
I wish I wrote songs that mattered to more than me
And inspire generations yet to be
To rise up, fight, and march the streets
And take the power from the top

But sha-la-la, it’s another pop song
About my love for you and how that went wrong
For three whole years I tried my best to show a different view
And found that every song I write, I write for you

I wish I wrote songs like the ones that let me know
They keep us down with the boot while they put on a show
About American dreams achieved and grown
If you just work enough, you might get your own
I guess I just can’t sing
I just can’t write
About oppression that we see and learn to fight
And use my voice to sing something to change your life
But the words change from the start

Just let wait here in the background
Until I know what I’m trying to say
You know I know I’m not one to make things easy

about

Big Bad image

Big Bad Tucson, Arizona

"Big Bad technically hails from Tucson, Arizona, but musically they are closer to Gainesville pop-punk. Songwriter Tim Milner creates absurdly catchy and lyrically mindful songs while cutting the fat and keeping them under 2 minutes each. In your face distortion and gang vocals blend perfectly with shared lead vocals and harmonies." - Diet Pop Records
