Director's comments
For most of my life
I've been regularly overwhelmed by the amount of injustice, violence and selfishness humanity is capable of. At the same time, I see people all over the world giving their lives to help complete strangers and do whatever they can to move our species forward. It is a confusing and emotional duality that was the basis for "
We Are." The events in
Ferguson and
Baltimore as well as
Arab Spring and Occupy Walstreet were further catalysts and Dufferin '83 is happy to contribute in some small way to the civil rights and equality movements that inspired us. We hope the video inspires you to contribute in your own way. -AC

We Are
Lyrics
AC
We Are x4
Yeah let me hear that again
We Are x4
AC
This for the kids in the crowd, not scared to stand out. We Are.
VERSE 1
CC
When the world go batshit crazy
I don't wanna watch the news don't make me
These politicians goin' nuts
Kevin Spacey
Where I put my money man bankers got rabies
I'm still proud
when people put a hand out
kids in the crowd wi cameras not scared to stand out
you feel small what you talking about
they never stoppin the sound
If you come singing it loud
or watch the swat cops push up the daisies
kids filmin riots through the gas scorcese
we got potential but at what expense
can you talk me down from this fence.
It's like I
AC
Woke this morning feeling low.
Why this world growing up so slow.
Came this far but so far to go.
CC
Why with everybody trying we got nothing to show.
CHORUS
CC
Are you people worth the fight
AC
We are, we are, we are, we are.
AC
Tell me are you you wrong or right
AC
We are, we are, we are, we are.
CC
If you ever lose sight of
where we goin whats the
point of this life just
..
Remind yourself who shining so bright.
AC
We are, we are, we are, we are.
CC
When the world go batshit crazy
I don't wanna watch the news don't make me
jail cells round the globe just burstin
we said we'd put the people first it ain't workin
I mean shit we just tryna put our work in
countin the days oh why is this the way the earth spin
I'm
Merlin with my soul in a whirlwind a fountain of flame
they watch the stage when we burst in
and she don't give a single fuck about earth day
she wanna sip champagne when she thirstay
in the worst way take a pill for the worray
where's everybody goin tell me whats the hurray.
PRECHORUS
