Billy Talent - Judged Lyrics






Goddamned motherfucker with that old-world plan
I swear some day, we'll be rid of your Klan
Your hateful rhetoric is so care-free
Why can't you see what it feels like to be

Judged!
For being born in your skin
Judged!
For love that they call a sin
Judged!
Because you're different to them
Profiled, defiled, tired of being
Judged!
For using your right to choose
Judged!
Before you walk in the room
Judged!
Yeah we're the ones you refused
Profiled, defiled, tired of being judged

Don't lose your voice, don't live without choice
Their minds are set to divide and destroy
You're still pretending it's the land of the free
If you can't see what it feels like to be

Judged!
For being born in your skin
Judged!
For love that they call a sin
Judged!
Because you're different to them
Profiled, defiled, tired of being
Judged!
For using your right to choose
Judged!
Before you walk in the room
Judged!
Yeah we're the ones you refused
Profiled, defiled, tired of being judged

We're just trying to open
The doors you shut!
Your logic's so broken
And out of touch!
You think we don't matter?
Well, we won't give up!
'Cause it'll all be shattered
The day you've been

Judged!
For being born in your skin
Judged!
For love that they call a sin
Judged!
Because you're different to them
Profiled, defiled, tired of being
Judged!
For using your right to choose
Judged!
Before you walk in the room
Judged!
They throw the salt in the wound
Profiled, defiled, tired of being judged

  4. p.... 1....

    I'm addicted since second grade, now 21^^

  5. s.... ....

    @Jakub Rapant Linkin park was hard not to like regardless of the hate they got quite often, they just experimented too much

  6. s.... ....

    Been listening since I was probably 15 or something and I'm 31 now. Good shit, seen them at least 3 times now

  7. A.... S....

    This album is shaping up to be such a variety of bangers

  8. D.... Q....

    @Stoney Woney qqq

  9. D.... Q....

    @Logan Hill Qaqq@Qq

  10. D.... Q....

    @Logan Hill qqqq

  11. D.... Q....

    @Stoney Woney aaáaqqqqqqqqqqaqqaq

  12. m.... ....

    this is the most punk rock song they've released in a while

  13. d.... C....

    @Big Joe Latex I didn’t say that. Billy Talent is not punk.

  14. B.... J....

    @darq Chason Ah yes the elitist, he had to come at some point. Punk is not just The Dead Kenedys, Sex Pistols and The Ramones lol.

  15. d.... C....

    @Alvin Yakitori it’s pop

  16. d.... C....

    if you think Billy Talent is punk, please get your damn head checked. This is post post punk pop music

  17. a.... ....

    I love this! The time signatures are so wild, gives it such a fun feeling. So excited for the album!

  18. E.... X....

    Love this band and everything they do. Hit the nail on the head with this one - like so many others. Can't wait to (hopefully) see them play in April. Please COVID don't ruin this for me.

  19. L.... ....

    @shanetm my buddy got the tickets, can't remember

  20. s.... ....

    @Laking86er which end? I'm south

  21. E.... L....

    Toronto baby!

  22. L.... ....

    London Ontario, April!

  23. S.... ....

    Doesn't matter which Billy Talent song you're listening to, those guys never disappoint you.
    Good one!

  24. M.... F....

    Now that's how you kick off the new year with a bang, Billy Talent style! 🎸

  25. M.... B....

    "Why use many word when few word do trick" - Kevin Malone. Short song, hits it out of the park, perfect.

  26. T.... ....

    This band never disappoints!! Only two weeks remain!! 🤟🏻🇬🇷

  27. M.... H....

    It's a crime that nobody knows them here in Greece

  28. J.... R....

    It’s cool that they keep finding ways to mix things up! This has that classic Billy Talent rage wrapped up in what feels like an old school punk song

  29. R.... M....

    Love you guys. Bought every album you've ever made. Yes, even that one. I don't know if we're even allowed to talk about it, but I know it, and I love it!

    Now, the word "banger" is over-used these days. It's lost a lot of its meaning. But even in a world where it was used more sparingly, this song would still be called an absolute banger! That energy is insane! But hey, let's make this constructive; I'm sure you guys have more clever, more insightful things to say than these basic, decades-old social battle cries. Dead Silence had me raising my fist in the air!! That said, some things are worth repeating, and the stuff in this track definitely falls into that category! Great song!!

  30. a.... s....

    ANOTHER F I R E SONG!! You guys are THE BEST!! Thank you for spreading such amazing messages through your cool music! Fav band! 🔥

  31. h.... ....

    I could now write on how much i hear in this, what it elates to, how i relate to it, how important this is, but that would take too long.
    So i will just say
    Amazing. Cant wait for the album

  32. K.... S....

    Can’t wait for full album love you guys

  33. E.... M....

    They've inspired me since middle school. 15 years or so of Billy Talent. I've never seen them live in person but I cannot wait til I get the opportunity! I have every CD and listen daily. Amazing band that holds a special place in my heart. Awesome release, can't wait for more! Rock on 🤘

  34. B.... R....

    I love this! The energy and power of a 5 minute banger compressed into a minute and a half! Love it!

  35. C.... ....

    As someone who prefers not to wear pants or underwear in public, I can really relate to this song.

  36. S.... O....

    My all-time Favorite Album is still Billy Talent 2. I Love the Songs, This suffering, Sympathie and Pins and Needles. I also Love Billy Talent 3 And Songs like, Definition of destiny, White Sparrows and Many More. Billy Talent is the best Rock Band ever🤘🎸

  37. R.... H....

    Been listening since 2010, love every song.

  38. L.... P....

    Yo if ya don't mind me asking how old are you

  39. A.... ....

    Yes! This is so good! It's always good to get new music from you and I'm so much looking forward to see you live again. Thank you for always be the voice of reason.

  40. P.... G....

    These guys have been making absolute bangers for over a decade, I fuckin love Billy Talent

  41. A.... J....

    I just want to turn this one up and lose myself in it. Billy Talent still my favorite band after all these years. They never disappoint.

  42. S.... ....

    Amazing to hear them grab back to their punk roots 😍 These lyrics are once again just damn poetry!

  43. h.... ....

    Billy talent never disappoints this song is just perfect 🔥🔥

  44. O.... A....

    EXCELLENT!!! Billy Talent will always be my favourite band. Here’s me manifesting singing with you one day! 🤞

  45. R.... T....

    Got this tune on repeat this morning. Lovin it.🤙

  46. P.... T....

    sitting here with my mouth hanging open. i was expecting good music and a good message but fuck....this made me tear up actually because it covers so much stuff I'm angry about.. thank you guys for this masterpiece

  47. C.... M....

    Can this Band ever fail? I don't think so 🤘

  48. F.... :....

    i love this so much, they did a great job as always! :D

  49. P.... I....

    This song right here.....

    SPEAKS TO ME!😭😆🤟🎸😎

  50. D.... R....

    Oba música nova 💗😚

  51. T.... ....

    from my experience, everybody effin judges everyone. On all sides. There's no left and right. Whatever group of people you affiliate yourself with, you'll judge people on the outside. ^^ Always be open minded, no matter what side you're on. Tolerance and understanding brings dialogues forward. Judging doesn't.

  52. I.... P....

    Another great song from my favourite band

  53. A.... ....

    Years pass and this band just keeps doing amazing songs, I think is one of the few bands where I like ALL the songs. Looking forward to the new album

  54. P.... i....

    So Incredible ! I love it. I can't wait the entire album

  55. D.... ....

    I've listened tp this song 20 times already! So amazing!

  56. L.... H....

    tanto tempo sem escutar essa maravilha e continua perfeito

  57. R.... ....

    Still rocking as if they were 20

  58. R.... ....

    Song length doesn't matter if the song is amazing. Some of my favorites are short songs ( The Stampede by Biting Elbows, Social Suicide by Bad Religion, Song 2 by Blur, etc.)
    Also I can't wait for the album release.

  59. X.... B....

    En Ciudad de México también los escuchamos 😍💖👌🏻

  60. Z.... ....

    this has such a good sound that i wish it was longer, but oh well! still so excited to see them in Vancouver!

  61. S.... B....

    This song is so interesting and catchy so glad they're coming out with an album I listen to them all the time

  62. M.... ....

    Honestly had a jumpscare clicking on it but its a headbanger and such a valid point. I've been judged for who I am as a person before and got to say that this song is well done and straight to the point. You guys rock and keep the tracks coming, can't wait for the album!

  63. J.... K....

    This legendary band just releases a new song on the same day I read about them cause I randomly get interested in their great songs again!

  64. A.... Z....

    This is when you write tons of songs. Mastery 😎✨

  65. E.... N....

    They should start their concerts with this from now on, it's the perfect intro

  66. K.... R....

    Feels like the old Billy Talent, Amazing!

  85. T.... L....

    🤘🏼🤘🏼so glad you’re making another album ..so excited 😊

  86. C.... ....

    Judging by these comments, it looks like we can add Billy Talent to the list of punk bands that have fans who somehow weren't aware that the band has always been political and only seem to care now.

  87. M.... N....

    @Rori Kon -- ⚡My Little Kaiju Can Be This Cute⚡ Totally agreed, but in defence of people, who don't see the political side of the music they listen to: I learned english as a second language and every time I listen to a song I liked from my childhood I am totally suprised by their messages, now that I understand the language.

  88. R.... K....

    ​@Motanius Nex Metaphors aside, there's plenty of songs in their catalogue that are not just overtly, but _aggressively_ political. Turn Your Back, Big Red Gun, Worker Bees or Viking Death March, for example. (I'd also disagree with you and say Red Flag is one of these).

  89. M.... N....

    True, they were always political, but this song is the most overt Billy Talent has ever been. In previous songs the messages were conveyed in metaphors and therefore easy to overlook, even though it almost has to be willful ignorance to overlook the message in "Red Flag" or "Kingdom of Zod".

  90. A.... M....

    Dang! the beginning hits so hard! Powerful! you can tell he's sick and tired of it. And I love that they and Anti-Flag could easily do this one like they did With the song "Turn Your Back" Billy Talent Fu** 👍
    Billy Talent is Bomb 💣💥

  91. J.... ....

    Forever Billy Talent 💙

  92. A.... R....

    Llegó de la nada, simplemente perfecto

  93. A.... P....

    That was unexpected. I was literally stunned during the whole video.

  94. A.... C....

    ¡Totalmente asombrosa!
    Ustedes siempre serán geniales. No puedo esperar a escuchar todo el álbum 🥺❤

  95. K.... ....

    y'all pulled NO punches with this one goddamn! love the new album and love the lyric videos!

  96. 3.... C....

    Disfrutando desde México🤟🇲🇽

  97. A.... M....

    Wow! Amazing music!

  98. E.... K....

    Fits a lot of judgements, nice! ☮

  99. F.... F....

    The only default of this song is that it's too short !
    Billy Talent still awesome ! !

  100. L.... ....

    I looove it!
