Wasted in the Basement - (We) Look Away Lyrics

We all keep thinking about
The things that are stressing us out
But if we just open our eyes
We might find quite a surprise
There are many people who much worse off than you
We need to find a different point of view

They're out there every day - Every day, every day
We should not, but we look away

We tend to get lost in our thoughts
And we just forget the cost
Another lost opioid
Someone that you just avoid
The lucky place where you are, oh the distance you could fall
You better stop, before you hit the wall

It happens every day - Every day, every day
We know, but we look away

You're blessed, your life doesn't suck
A combination of birthplace and luck
It's not so special, your case
You just started way ahead in the race
Better realize the die has fallen for your good
Your luck may run out, you better knock on wood

A blessing every day - Every day, every day
See misfortune but we look away

Count your blessings and please don't forget we need to share
We need to show with actions that we care

It happens every day - Every day, every day
We should not, but we look away
