Hello brothers and sisters, We are Indonesia Bersatu, a Punk Rock band from Medan, Indonesia. For this week, the band personnel is incomplete so we only do it together. Because our drummer's mother is sick, and our vocalist is busy working. So, the weekly #openmic event has now entered week 152 with the theme Tú Estás Conmigo or in English, You Are With Me. This theme was chosen by our spotlight artist 
The song we performed today is a social critique that often happens, especially in Indonesia. Actually, we are fed up with events that discriminate between groups, tribes, and races. How is it possible in the 21st century, which is advanced and modern, but the human mind is still narrow and backward. Racism still happens everywhere. We still see many conflicts that occur because of differences. Come on guys! Differences are beautiful. With differences, we will explore more about diversity. Don't make differences into something terrible. Instead, we must accept and embrace differences to make this world more colorful.
The song titled Kita VS Mereka that we performed today is a message for those of you who have become victims of differences. Don't be ashamed of being different, and don't be afraid if you are different. Those who never accept the beauty of differences are narrow-minded conservatives. We will always be with those of you who are constantly bullied, insulted, oppressed, and ostracized because of differences. Let's rise up and unite. Let's create a beautiful world with more colorful diversity because we are always with you. Below are the song lyrics and translation;
Hey kau yang terluka karna engkau berbeda
Jangan pernah menyerah hancurkan kesedihan
Kita kan bersama, ayo lawan dunia
Injak kesombongan dan keangkuhannya
Kita bukan mereka
Kita bukan anak bangsa sempurna
Kita bukan bangsawan
Dan rupawan, yang harus dihormatilah,
Keseragaman, kedangkalan hidup di dunia
Jarum dan tinta, kulit berwarna
Buktikan kubisa, akan kurubah dunia
Hey kau yang terluka karna engkau berbeda
Jangan pernah menyerah hancurkan kesedihan
Kita kan bersama, ayo lawan dunia
Injak kesombongan dan keangkuhannya
Kita selalu ditekan
Dilupakan, tersudut dan terdiam
Orang-orang memuja
Pemikiran sempit dan membosankanku
Ku akan teriak, hingga kaca pecah terserak
Kuangkat gelas, kita nyanyikan
Lagu perlawanan
Kita versus mereka!
Hey kau yang terluka karna engkau berbeda
Jangan pernah menyerah hancurkan kesedihan
Kita kan bersama, ayo lawan dunia
Injak kesombongan dan keangkuhannya
Hey you who are hurt because you are different
Never give up to break the sadness
We are together, let's fight the world
Step on its pride and arrogance
We are not them
We are not perfect children of the nation
We are not royalty
And beautiful, who must be respected,
Uniformity, the shallowness of living in the world
Needle and ink, colored skin
Prove I can, I will change the world
Hey you who are hurt because you are different
Don't ever give up crush the sadness
We are together, let's fight the world
Step on its pride and arrogance
We are always suppressed
Forgotten, cornered, and silenced
People worship
My narrow and boring thinking
I'll scream until the glass shatters
I'll raise my glass, we'll sing
The song of resistance
Us versus them!
Hey you who are hurt because you are different
Never give up to break the sadness
We'll be together, let's fight the world
Step on its pride and arrogance
