Lyrics:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for straight white men.
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
Have to talk softly so you don’t think I’m critical
You push me down and make equal pay seem mythical
Can’t swing both ways, it’s not plausible
I’m a faker, a phony, maybe just atypical
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
You tell me that my stretch marks are unforgivable
And shrink me down until I’m imperceptible
Can’t control my body it’s downright biblical
You say that it’s the principle I say it’s inadmissible
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
Chorus:
When will you see me?
(Hear me)
When will you see me?
(Believe me)
When will you see me?
(Know me)
When will you see me?
(I'm Invisible)
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
My wrinkles, my age all make me abhorable
My exp’rience and my existence - ignorable
I am dated and unrelatable
Like a program that’s unupdatable
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
Chorus
I’m invisible in this country indivisible
Keys between my fingers and I am formidable
Aim for the eyes, strike whatever’s kickable
You don’t see me unless I am f**kable
Hold me down, pull my hair, case dismissible
Tired, beaten down, looking pitiful
I love this country but goddamn it’s unlivable
Chorus
You can ignore us
Shut your eyes
Plug your ears
Hope we’ll just disappear
But we won’t live in fear
And like it or not we’re still here
This land is your land
But it’s also MY land
it’s time to take your head out of the sand
And understand
I’ll be visible in this country indivisible
(Look up)
You’re on top now but power is ephemeral
(Hear me)
I am visible in this country indivisible
(I’m unstoppable)
We are visible in this country indivisible
(We’re unstoppable)
We are visible in this country indivisible
