Tension brewing
We're shaking to the ground
You wear a smile while you subtly put me down
You say you know just how we feel well I object
I'd like to see you living paycheck to paycheck
Polarized
Fear behind the eyes
Flashing lies
And still we're all surprised
We get caught up in the commotion
You pollute our minds like we're polluting our oceans
Ain't there a better way
Open wide
Addicted to the junk
We keep on working while their funds keeping piling up
I'm not protected and this poor moral foundations been laid thick
I'm scared to pay more than to know if I am sick
Paralyzed
Fear behind the eyes
Hypnotized by flashing lights we hold too tight
Glued to the grim display
Though I try I can't look away
We get wrapped up in the distractions
And see you're empty words that don't translate into actions
I don't know how much more I can stand
But I think that we can
I hope we still can
Find a better way
Wow I'm an idiot that should be gud now
