Lyrics
Distraction
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.
There's a simple escape, it covers any mistake,
Always have a good distraction.
If you can keep the debate, he said she said rage,
They'll forget whatever happened.
We devide, we take aside, spinning on forever,
Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,
Waiting, in the same line.
Use your head to prepare, a real fight's not declared,
A symbol doesn't cause your problem.
Take a walk see who cares, it only works if you're scared,
Try the fear and you have lost.
Pick someone, anyone, no one ever questions.
Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,
Waiting, in the same line.
Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,
Waiting, in the same line.
Run, slow down, run, we're all waiting,
Waiting, in the same line.
