There’s so much pain coming across my phone
The world is burning, good people are all alone
I turn it off in the comfort of my own home
Since all is lost and nothing can be done
At least, that’s what they say
At least, that’s what they say
But we’re standing in the way
Refusing to play
Everyone around me staring with eyes so vacant
It’s wild that this is what it looks like to make it
In a scene where so few say that they can take it
It’s so easy to turn away and just to fake it
At least, that’s what they say
At least, that’s what they say
As we’re dragging through the clay
With our dreams of yesterday
Shoulders that once carried are getting older
Ideals that ran hot are fading and colder
The weight of the world is heavy as a boulder
So we turn away and just let it smolder
At least, that’s what they say
At least, that’s what they say
In the silence where we lay
Watching the world decay
