The Fight for the Subhuman Lyrics

Down through the years,
We've been asked to stand and fight,
For the ones that our peers considered less than us.

First it was the colour of our skin,
Then it was the gender we were born with,
And now it's whether we've been born at all.

The fight for the subhuman has come to this:
Each generation faced with a choice,
To subjugate those that were beneath them,
Or to give unto them a voice.

Each time we have been shown,
Through scientific rigour,
That these creatures that look just like us,
Are somehow inferior,
And every single time we were wrong,
Just because the evidence,
Shows us that they're different,
Doesn't mean that they do not belong.

When our children look back on what we've decided,
Will they forgive us for erring on the side of convenience,
Instead of human liberty and life?

The freedom to live,
Outweighs the freedom to live comfortably.
