They bulldozed over the memories To build apartments with amenities And left the low income families Broke on the outskirts of town Might be the change on the surface that bothers me Or the underlying lack of humanity Might be a little of everything But I can never quite pin it down And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is" As if that's all that they know how to say When you walk past do you evеn stop to ask Or have you learned to look thе other way? The devil's wearin' a suite and tie Swearin' on the Bible there's a twitch in his eye I guess every crooks got an alibi As long as they got money to blow 'Cause every last dollar goes to feedin' machines So we can keep on sellin' the American dream While our TV dinners and Photoshopped screens Just keep on killing us slow And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is" As if that's all that they know how to say And it's so sad to watch you give up the little power you have SongtexteAll because you'd rather look the other way Headlines are bleedin' read With the name of a man that I've never met Cuffed on the street with a knee on his neck And tears spillin' out of his eyes Are we heartless or are we numb> Changin' the channel on the television And tellin' ourselves we're not the ones And refusin' to apologize And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is" When there is so much we can say If you walk past knowin' that breath might be his last Would you still have looked the other way? Would you still have looked the other way? Would you still have looked the other way? Would you still have looked the other way? Would you still have looked the other way? Aus Songtexte Mania
