lyrics

My trans friends need fun money.
My trans friends need run money.
My trans friends need gun money.
My trans friends need somebody.

My trans friends need hug money.
My trans friends need drug money.
My trans friends need shrug money.
My trans friends need somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody.

Look.

Here’s the situation:

Bad people on a hate campaign
Dysphoria via state mandate
Manmade disaster, tryna claim that’s “fate”
When their trans kids die people say “that’s great”…

It’s fascism with onramps
They’re already looking past prison, they want camps
They’re already looking beyond trans
but on trans people they want stamps,
and maybe some armbands…

It costs money to move folks that’s too close
to the blast zones of Sith Lords with new hopes
cant sleepwalk 2024, or we might not see many anymore—
That noose chokes

Good people know we’re way past safe
so embrace that rage where the state can’t claim
And arrange that face in a plain-ass shape
while you work underground til the train tracks change

Cause my trans friends need fun money.
My trans friends need run money.
My trans friends need gun money.
My trans friends need somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.

My trans friends need hug money.
My trans friends need drug money.
My trans friends need shrug money.
My trans friends need somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.

Yo—
Everybody deserves joy in this world!
(except nazis. cause fuck nazis)
Everybody deserves toys in this world,
for all definitions of toys!
Everybody deserves a voice in this world!
(except nazis. throat punch nazis)
Everybody deserves poise in this world!
Supporting folks isn’t a choice:

William Dubois said “the first wavering step for [a] people
towards organized social life” is mutual aid
William Withers said “call me when you’re not strong
and lean on, there’s a tomorrow for the humans in pain”

Do The Change!

I know we can hold tough
I know we can take care of each other
When the world is so fucked
So do something and don’t bluff,
Help one of your trans sisters or brothers
with £OV€ that folds up!!!

Cause my trans friends need fun money.
My trans friends need run money.
My trans friends need gun money.
My trans friends need somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.

Your trans friends need drug money.
Your trans friends need rug money.
Your trans friends need hug money.
Your trans friends need somebody.

Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
Be somebody. Be somebody.
