lyrics

diversion


blinded and paranoid
chemical spills stink the soil
a survey of the things you'll save
no mention of the ones depraved

icicles around the eyes
numbness around the nails
we have no time for
the pity reserved for poverty

can't sit still, can't sit down
how can we do or say
can't change it any way

don't want to bring you down
so let's shield our eyes
this stunning reality burns bright

sentencing the want for change
the curious are called insane
justified to be afraid
no choice but to look away

first to point first to blame
gently pushed by media
dimensions of dimentia
all a diversion

bloodshedders most refined
gentlemen most civilised
saturate this lunacy
who thinks it's a democracy?

can't sit still, can't sit down
how can we do or say
can't change it any way

blind we look away
deaf we look away
blank we look away
dead we look away
