Press Pause
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The voice on the radio feeding me lies
I don't know how they can sleep in the night
All I hear "blah, blah, blah"
And all we do is eat it up (mmh)
I don't believe what I read on the news (no)
Everyone's always got opposite views (ya)
This is an emergency
I'm praying, begging, pleading on my knees yeah
Can we press pause? (ohh)
Cause what the hell we fighting for? (ooh)
You know I can't take it no more
Cover up my eyes, it's such a mess
We're all gonna fucking die if
We don't press pause (ooh)
Until it all blows over
And the media's rotting my brain (yeah)
And the comments are driven by hate (yeah)
We're all keyboard warriors
And we're all chronic worriers
Maybe I should just move to the moon
Less of the misery, plenty of room
'Cause this is an emergency
I'm screaming, crying, pleading on my knees yeah
Can we press pause? (ohh)
Cause what the hell we fighting for? (ooh) (come on)
You know I can't take it no more
Cover up my eyes, it's such a mess (such a mess)
We're all gonna fucking die if
We don't press pause
Until it all blows over
Until it all blows over (yeah)
Until it all blows over
Nah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Until it all blows
I, I, I, I, na, na, na, na
Until it all blows over
