"Can't Cancel All Of Us" lyrics

They told me, "Be a man, boy, toughen up"
Then they let women become men, they tricked me
They told me, "Speak your mind, if you're brave enough"
And I spoke up and I got cancelled quickly

We were always too young and too nice
And now we're too old and too white
You're either too left or too right
Well, we're speaking our minds tonight

'Cause you can't cancel all of us
And you're more than welcome to try
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause we're standing here side by side
And you can't cancel all of us
Till you've earned your stars and your stripes
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause the internet ain't real life

They told me, "Be a man, boy, just like your dad"
They told me everything I am is toxic
They said, "The color of your skin doesn't make you bad"
But mine makes me racist, got it

We were always too weak and too afraid
And now we're too male and too straight
You're either too real or too fake
Well, we're speaking our minds today

'Cause you can't cancel all of us
And you're more than welcome to try
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause we're standing here side by side
And you can't cancel all of us
Till you've earned your stars and your stripes
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause the internet ain't real life

You can take my job away for something I may have said online
But you can't control a man who won't comply
And you can call me every name that you might think will hurt my pride
But if you think you're stopping me, you're out your mind

'Cause you can't cancel all of us
And you're more than welcome to try
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause we're standing here side by side
And you can't cancel all of us
Till you've earned your stars and your stripes
But you can't cancel all of us
'Cause the internet ain't real life
