Pay Attention

A lie is a falsehood Everybody knows it

We've come to a crossroads 'Cause I realise that

Things aren't what they seem And I see a pattern

Of people and their dreams Regularly shattered

We trust in our nation That's where we are living

To allow our elevation Do more than surviving

No-one asks the question When we need the answer

Are we in the right direction We don't think it matters

We wonder why we're in the situation that we're in

The real truth is we're not paying attention

(chorus)

We're freely marching on to exploitation

We're blindly moving toward extermination

Because every lie we hear has a justification

And the truth we deny is public relations

You think you have freedom That's what they all say

But your mind doesn't function Over medicated

Because of depression Too much information

And you have no direction Just don't pay attention

There's so much pollution Some kinda radiation

Which leads to destruction Everything is wasting

But political action Everybody rising

Is deemed a distraction Well well well well

We wonder what is happening, and how we got into this situation

We're not paying attention

(chorus)

You say we need discussion About all our problems

Then we need protection From those who cause them

We should be talking preservation For our children

Which leads to evolution Higher higher!

There can't be hesitation If we want the real truth

And no more reservations And you know that means you

What we need as a nation People come together

Is a spirit of revolution Around the world

We don't have to believe the words that they spin

If we just keep paying attention
