about
We Are Fighting You Now is the new single by Ami Saraiya & The Outcome written in honor of activists who protest injustice, and who work to realize a better future by living a better present. The song is a call for all of us to join in. it speaks to the surreal nature of our current cultural moment and is accompanied by an equally surreal animated video by Chicago multimedia artist Gretchen Hasse: youtu.be/Ac2pWr6g4vs.

lyrics
We are fighting you now
We are fighting you so we can breathe
You stand on our chest
You rise, we fall, and we sink deep deep deep
You and your piggyback crowd
That likes to get fat off our meat
It didn’t have to go this way at all
But you forced us into your groove of greed and doubt
What else can we do and not lash out
Like a spring of hope that's pushed down too long
We’ll break free
You are fighting us now
You are fighting evolve from this beast
Just try to dream bigger
The world can be more than you see
It didn’t have to go this way at all
If together we learned to bounce so high off each other
We’d reach so high till every step was divine
Like a spring of hope that's pushed down too long
We’ll break free
