Isn't Everyone Lyrics

This song features the Los Angeles alt rock band 'HEALTH' it's a collaboration. I'm basing my analysis partially on Jake Duzik (singer/guitarist) of HEALTH's comments on the song. He says the part of the lyrics he wrote were more on the abstract side, having to do with the chaotic political backdrop of 2020 & all the issues that piled up during that time as well. I agree with that of course, the lyrics do speak to this, I also feel they describe the conflict everyone feels about in general - such as; what is right & wrong in society, when to cancel others, when to speak up & when to step down. I think the song is saying we get the result we ask for when we fail to make the choices we have to.
