I don’t know what I am watching
All sense of empathy is gone
And the puppets on strings
See how far they can push things
It’s not done for you
So who is it done for
Nevermind the desperate
Kill us with silence
Nevermind the helpless
Kill us with silence
Nevermind the displaced
Kill us with silence
Nevermind this violence
Kill us with silence
Kill us with silence
Compassion is deconstructed
It sucks the air out of every room
There’s a line of talking heads
Causing chaos from their beds
You’re not on their team
You never have been
Nevermind the grieving
Kill us with silence
Nevermind the homeless
Kill us with silence
Nevermind our freedom
Nevermind if we can’t afford to feed them
Nevermind your compliance
Kill us with silence
Kill us with silence

Have we finally lost our minds
To be knowingly this unkind
While we sit here and watch them take
Out of the mouths of babes
I don’t know why we think we’re special
I don’t know why we think we’re safe
Nevermind the unprotected
Kill us with silence
Nevermind the disconnected
They don’t know that they’ve been rejected
Nevermind this dark police state
Nevermind this culture of hate
Nevermind this ultra-violence
Kill us with silence
Kill us with silence
Nevermind the desperate
Nevermind the helpless
Nevermind injustice
Or the broken
Or corruption over habitat destruction
Nevermind the fat cats
Or the street rats
Caught in the poverty trap
Or your compliance
Or your petition defiance
Kill us with silence
