Our Care is a Weapon (Instinct Cover)

[Verse] We're isolated, might as well be locked away Even when present, we're locked in our minds, and We scroll on our phones, I know it's a cliché But it's almost as if we were wearing blinders [Verse] Trapped in precarious jobs, no time to connect We work different shifts, no time to meet up When they tell me to cope alone, it feels like I'm decked I'm not really that strong, and I kinda feel stuck [Chorus] Your system leaves us fractured, our care is counter-structured. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. [Verse] I bought the apps and read the books for self-care It was nothing more than consumerist bullshit It's up to you, that's what they assure They want me working, not to heal, but I always knew this: [Chorus] Your system leaves us fractured, our care is counter-structured. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. [Bridge] Your hand in mine when the world shuts me out we build new futures with anger and doubt. They want us alone, defeated, contained but our triumph's rebellion, unfettered, unchained. Our laughter, our rage, our care are weapons! [Chorus] Your system leaves us fractured, our care is counter-structured. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. Mutual aid and solidarity, that is the cure. That is the cure. [End]
