Текст песни Don't Kill Me for My Gender - Shius

She was missing on the night they found her on the trails
Her family in distress, over what might have been
But when the cops showed up, it was but all too late
She had been murdered in cold blood, in dark mud
Left to rot like all of the other girls, the killer caught
But judged to be incapable
He was to live in asylum after what he had done
No ruling to punish the man for all the lives he took
No justice, no campaign to revise
The laws that would harm the people that he had so despised
When the world had failed them, they fell back
But the hearts of the proud could not be easily cracked

We are people
We are
We are

Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people

He was surrounded by some men when he became the victim
Cold and ruthless to his pleas they assaulted him
Lying on the street he wondered when the pain would end
Knowing he would finish off what they'd already started
Even now society will finish us off
If we don't conform to them, or obey their rules
Yet they think that our wars done, and we've won
But the truth is the farthest from a happy ending
All this time we have fought for our right to live
And we know there's been change, and that we've come this far
The pride of us is a fierce cry of life and defiance
Not just a flag with pretty colors in the light of day

We are people
We are
We are

Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people

How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down
How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down
How far we've come
How much we've evolved
They will not separate us now
Back in our roots we won't forget you now
Our pride won't break, we will not let you down

Don't kill me for my gender
I want to see a better day
From the start of our pride, we have seen better times
From the start of time
We are people

We are people
We are people
