Outrage Looks Good On You

Verse

You asked which side would catch the banner,

Moved a woman out of shot.

She'd been waiting since the morning.

You said, "We'll only take a sec."

You tried the speech without your sunglasses,

Then put them on to hide the tears.

Somebody asked what happened.

You said, "The caption makes it clear."

(Read it later)

Prechorus

You asked us all to keep it moving.

You had another place to be.

She asked who'd listen to her statement.

You said, "We've got what we need."

Chorus

Outrage looks good on you!

Turn your concern towards the light.

Make sure we catch you caring

From your most convincing side.

You can tell us who you stand with—

Who did you stay to hear?

Outrage looks good on you.

Shame it doesn't keep you here.

(Where'd you go?)

Verse

By six you'd posted your exhaustion:

"It's been a heavy day for me."

Her number's waiting in your messages.

She needs a lift at half past three.

You thanked us all for being vocal,

Said our silence makes us part of it.

I asked if you could take her Tuesday.

You said, "I'm not equipped for this."

(Fair enough)

Prechorus

Neither was the woman waiting.

Neither was the friend who drove.

You had plenty left to tell us.

She had nowhere else to go.

Chorus

Outrage looks good on you!

Turn your concern towards the light.

Make sure we catch you caring

From your most convincing side.

You can tell us who you stand with—

Who did you stay to hear?

Outrage looks good on you.

Shame it doesn't keep you here.

(Still waiting)

Bridge

I shared it.

Wrote, "We need more people like you."

Never asked her what she needed.

Liked the feeling. Kept on scrolling.

Then she called to ask a favour.

Nothing anyone would see.

I almost said I couldn't.

I heard how much you sounded like me.
