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.

[English]

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark

We 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

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

Are you ready, what about

What about us, what about all the times you said you had the answers

So 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

What about us What about us What about us

What about us What about us What about us
