Esperanto - Charlotte Adigéry/BOLIS PUPUL

Lyrics by：Charlotte Adigéry

Composed by：Charlotte Adigéry/Boris Zeebroek/David Dewaele/Stephen Dewaele

Are you polite or political

Are you correct or cynical

Are you as open-minded behind closed doors

Would you join forces in this holy war

Are you as offended when nobody's watching

Are you an attacker or a victim

Do you carry the burden of this privilege

Do you see this guilt as leverage

Are you polite or political

Are you correct or cynical

Are you as open-minded behind closed doors

Would you join forces in this holy war

Are you as offended when nobody's watching

Are you an attacker or a victim

Do you carry the burden of this privilege

Do you see this guilt as leverage

Empty empathy

Empty empathy

Empty empathy

Empty empathy

Empty

Don't say But where are you really from

Say I don't see colour

Don't say Nice pair

Say I love the symmetry of you

Don't say But I'm allowed to say that because

I grew up in a black neighbourhood

Say My n eighbour

Don't say You speak my language surprisingly well

Say Do you speak Esperanto

Don't say Only a man is fit for this job

Say At least you tried Karen

Don't say I would like a black Americano

Say I'll have an African American please

Don't say White people can't dance

Say Tom marches to the beat of a different drum

Don't say So you're from China do you know my friend Hiro

Say You must be blind not to see the difference

Don't say We need to build a wall

Say I'm a world citizen I don't believe in borders
