We are searchlights,
we can see in the dark
00:57
We are rockets,
pointed up at the stars
01:05
We are billions of
beautiful hearts
01:14
And you sold us down
the river too far
01:22
What about us
What about all the times you
said you had the answers
01:31
What about us
What about all the broken
happy ever afters
01:39
What about us
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster
01:48
What about love
What about trust
01:56
What about us
01:59
We are problems that
want to be solved
02:04
We are children that
need to be loved
02:13
We were willing, we came
when you called
02:21
But many fooled us,
enough is enough
02:29
What about us, what about
all the times you said you had
the answers
02:38
What about us
What about all the broken
happy ever afters
02:46
What about us
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster
02:55
What about love
What about trust
03:03
What about us
03:07
What about us
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster
03:29
What about love
What about trust
03:37
What about us
03:40
Sticks and stones they may
break these bones
03:46
But then I'll be ready,
are you ready
03:49
It's a start of us waking up
come on
03:54
Are you ready, I'll be ready
03:59
I don't want control,
I want to let go
04:03
Are you ready,
I'll be ready
04:07
Now it's time to
let them know
04:11
Are you ready,
what about
04:16
What about us,
what about all the times you
said you had the answers
04:19
So what about us
What about all the broken
happy ever afters
04:27
What about us
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster
04:35
What about love
What about trust
04:44
What about us
04:48
What about us
What about us
What about us
04:52
What about us
What about us
What about us
05:01
Lyrics & Translation
Learning a language through music is a powerful tool, and P!NK's "What About Us" offers a chance to explore the vocabulary of social commentary and protest. The song's clear, emotive lyrics and repetitive chorus make it accessible for learners to grasp its message of questioning authority and fighting for the marginalized. It's a special song because it combines a danceable beat with a deeply meaningful and universally relevant message of seeking answers and demanding to be heard.

We are searchlights, we can see in the darkWe are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us What about all the times you said you had the answers
What about us What about all the broken happy ever afters
What about us What about all the plans that ended in disaster
What about love What about trust
What about us
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willing, we came when you called
But many fooled us, enough is enough
What about us, what about all the times you said you had the answers
What about us What about all the broken happy ever afters
What about us What about all the plans that ended in disaster
What about love What about trust
What about us

Sticks and stones they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready
It's a start of us waking up come on
Are you ready, I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready, I'll be ready
Now it's time to let them know
