	I write protest songs and shopping lists And slogans on amazon boxes Old fashioned songs To help me when I go wrong And I serve the same woman coffee every day She sits there shivering, hiding from the rain And I watch her scratching, scratching away She still thinks Itll all change some day While I write protest songs and shopping lists And slogans on amazon boxes Old fashioned songs To help me when I go wrong And she asks me, kindly, "Will you count out my change?" She's not sure if it's worth anything these days Oh I fight her loneliness on minimum wage With a latte and a polite "how was your day?" And I write protest songs and shopping lists And slogans on amazon boxes Old fashioned songs To help me when I go wrong Oh I'm a 21st century activist Who cant help but wonder how much they'd be missed I never feel like I am doing enough For the people, the planet or the country that I love I just write protest songs and shopping lists And slogans on amazon boxes Old fashioned songs To help me when I go wrong So come, write protest songs and shopping lists And slogans on amazon boxes Old fashioned songs To help us when we go wrong
