Lyrics
Sad Thing
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 streets are getting colder
The blood of men so freshly painted
Get down & follow orders
Cause we can kill & make you famous
Theres a church on every corner
But daddy wasnt here to take us
He’s behind the wall doin time
For flippin work & makin paper
Its a sad thing
Such a sad thing
Im not expecting visits
Im all locked down & situated
My silence is complicit
& speaking out will get me hated
But I surely made an effort
I watched a screen for information
Now im busy seeking shelter
From a fire that I created
Its a sad thing
Such a sad thing
We’re all glued to coverage
Bought & owned by corporations
Sellin pain & sorrow
To keep up ratings for the stations
Oh theyre escalating riots
The talking heads are secret agents
& they’re laughing to the bank & gettin high
On the wealth of nations
Oh & everybody watching is outta time
& outta patience
Its a sad thing
Such a sad thing
Are you your brother’s keeper
Or do you keep your brothers take?
Do you see his weakness as a chance
To get some strength?
Will you step aside as the levees bend & break?
Or will you turn this madness
Into necessary change?
