"Good Enough"

living in diversified oppression

We step off of the pedestals propaganda placed under us

when the media signals the next group needs attention

we clean up our message, we knew it was just a month

we're all a buncha causes for big business to mention

We head back home from the protest or parade

it turns out these old towns didn't even notice

that we'd been gone, or the progress we'd made

in diversified oppression it's impossible to focus

See, in this day in age, there is but one solution

when a new group becomes the topic of conversation

don't turn to go home: stay, make a contribution

we cannot continue fighting for one type liberation

I guess when it comes down to the ol' push and shove

the opposite of progression is our saying "good enough".
