Symptoms

A missle sent today
Killed only three
The rest were saved
They're far enough away
To not really feel the direct effect on me
They caught him today
Based ridiculously on his race
They weren't sure
He even did it
But they needed a random face
All these symptoms
Symptoms of a simpler cause
I've had moments in my life
When I've contributed
By believing we are
Separate, we are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He won today
Smug self-satisfaction on his face
He blew the others
Out of the water
He said that he's glad they were disgraced
All these symptoms
Symptoms of a simpler cause
I've had moments in my life
When I've contributed
By believing we are
Separate, we are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He stole what he could
He only had minutes before he'd be caught
He justified every penny taken
By blaming the gap between
The rich and rich not
All these symptoms
Symptoms of a simpler cause
I've had moments in my life
When I've contributed
By believing we are
Separate, we are separate
Disconnected in this unity
Separate, we are separate
Disconnected in this unity
