about

This track has gone through several iterations since I recorded the initial idea as a voice memo on my phone last year. Musically, it started out as a Scritti Politti-type pop song, but the lyrics turned it into an urgent call to action in opposition to the increasingly fascist threats to this nation’s democracy. In the wake of the mass shootings at Uvalde, Buffalo and so many other cities, I decided to release it as a single with any proceeds to be donated to gun-violence-prevention efforts.

lyrics

It’s time
For us to hit the streets
No more
Hiding in retreat

We have to raise our voice
We have to stand and fight
We have to be the change if we want it
We have to make our move
We have to do what’s right
We have to act or forever be haunted

We can’t put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can’t hold off anymore
Baby, it’s now or never
Baby, it’s now or never

It’s time
To show up and be heard
We won’t
Stand down or be deterred

We have to save the day
We have to make things right
We have to show them there’s no going back now
We won’t go quietly
We’re gonna make some noise
We’re gonna get them to listen somehow

We can’t put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can’t hold off anymore
Baby, it’s now or never
It’s time for us to make a stand
We have to work together
Our freedom and our lives at stake
Baby, it’s now or never

Baby, it’s now or never

We can’t put it off again
We cannot wait forever
We just can’t hold off anymore
Baby, it is now or never
It’s time for us to make a stand
We have to work together
Our freedom and our lives at stake
Baby, it’s now or never
Baby, it’s now or never
Baby, it’s now or never
Baby, it’s now or never
