How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don’t end the nights are long
Days don’t end the nights are long
Just take it
Just take it like you’re strong
You’re just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
Just leave it
We all left where we are from
We’re just the latest in the longest rank and file that’s ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don’t end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Just take it
We all left where we are from
You’re just the latest in the long list of lost loves (loves)
We’re just the latest in the longest rank and file that’s ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
It is whatever it is
And you are wherever you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don’t end the nights are long
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days go dark the nights are drawn
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
Days don’t end the nights are long
Days don’t end the nights are long
Days go dark the nights are drawn
Days go dark the nights are drawn
We’re just the latest on the longest rank and file that’s ever to exist
In the history of longest rank and file that’s ever to exist
In the history of longest rank and file that’s ever to exist
In the history of the protest song

Why this song?
Protest Song mixes personal and political, as does much of the music from the Canadian band, Broken Social Scene. As band member Kevin Drew says: “Looking at the general state of the world right now, we knew that putting our unified friendship out there was a great protest that we could do,”
