Hey you
Hey you
Have you had enough of it
How the blind are leading the blind?
Hey you
Are you angered enough, do you feel confined?
Are you losing your mind?
Hey you
Done putting up with it
Inner peace isn't easy to find
Hey you
Are you strong enough to stop jumping in?
Can we begin again, then?
And when you won't let go
Just keep this thought in mind
The closest mirror reveals the true enemy staring back at you
Hey you, walking away
You've got the wrong kind of mindset
And it's helping no one
Hey you, throw it away
You'll only grow to despise it
Realize it
Hey you
Hey you
Can you feel the effect of it?
That shot keeps rotting your mind
Hey you
Have you woken up, do you still deny, are you comply?
Hey you
The world is so full of it
Madness is easy to find
Hey you
Is it bad enough? You continue to lie
Telling me you're fine with it
You know you can't let go
So keep this thought in mind
Your greatest enemy is still alive and growing inside you
Hey you, walking away
You've got the wrong kind of mindset
And it's helping no one
Hey you, throw it away
You'll only grow to despise it
Realize it
Hey you, walking away
You've got the wrong kind of mindset
And it's helping no one
Hey you, throw it away
You'll only grow to despise it
Realize it
(Hey you)
There's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many
Too many of us, there's too many of us around
There's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many
Too many of us, too many of us now
There's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many
Too many of us, there's too many of us around
There's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many
Hey you, walking away
You've got the wrong kind of mindset
And it's helping no one
Hey you, throw it away
You'll only grow to despise it
Realize it
Hey you, walking away
You've got the wrong kind of mindset
And it's helping no one
Hey you, throw it away
You'll only grow to despise it
You know you'll grow to despise it
Hey
Hey you, there's too many of us around

David Draiman: “Hey You” is basically a wake-up call. I think that the lockdown and the pandemic in general, the past two years, three years of our existence already at this point, has been this incredible, perfect storm of elements. We had isolation, we had removal from any kind of normalcy, we had people really go down the rabbit hole of social media in a big, big way. And if anything, it intensified the division that was already there. People really stick to their respective camps and their respective allegiances, whether it’s political or religious or otherwise. It’s become hyper-intensified over the course of these past number of years. This song is speaking to that [“outrage addiction”], it’s speaking to the fact that we’re our own worst enemy sometimes because of these little barriers we set up for ourselves. — via Loudwire
