lyrics

Mass Distraction!
And Disorder!


I know there's something in the water
I know there's something in the air
The clouds of smoke are growing closer
You're placing blame cause you don't care


Are you embarrassed yet, you've voted in a clown
you're afraid if you admit it then you'll never live it down
But I beg you seek your empathy, I hope you come around
Or at least you turn your deaf ear to the sound... of


I know the system wasn't working
We always meant to burn it down
Your torch's flame was fueled by treason
Lit by a man who craves a crown



Are you embarrassed yet, you begged to bend the knee
To an antiauthoritarian who lusts for authority
And how many more of ours should die before you plainly see
That this battle isn't between you and me...


I watched a man die
On my local TV station
I wasn't surprised
To see the situation
My aging apathy
Was catching up to me
A fire alchemized of growing old and new frustrations
It's been the same shit
Since 1992
And centuries before but still they say "what can you do?"
I hear the men cry
"Why can't they just comply?"
But I will not comply!
But I will not comply!


Are you embarrassed yet? When the city's burning red
In a civilized society, we're bringing out our dead
Are you embarrassed yet? When the news is nothing more
Than a talking head disparaging the diseased and the poor
Are you embarrassed yet? When the value of a dime
Funds a CEO's vacation and a desperate parent's crime
Are you embarrassed yet? In a plastic, rotting sea
And if you're not embarrassed, then you FUCKIN. OUGHTA. BE.
