Discomfort Zone

The trickle down effect complete
 Let's all repeat the news
 As seen on t.v. every day
 Now we all got similar views
 That say it's all too serious
 Get back to sport and clothes
 Cos really it's not up to us
 Let's leave it to those who know
 And I've got to go to somewhere else now
 Before I lose my mind
 How far to the nearest person
 Who hasn't been compromised?
 Ignore the facts try to relax
 You're a long time dead and gone
 You want to feel some empathy?
 Just smile and carry on
 I see the eyes looking so surprised
 When I say 'all this is wrong'
 Maybe I should just hang out and stuff
 Then I'll feel like I belong
 And I've got to go to somewhere else now
 Before I lose my mind
 How far to the nearest person
 Who hasn't been compromised?
 The middle ground of knowing how
 The system traps our minds
 Makes enemies of everything
 That isn't recognized
 But also makes discoveries
 Of better ways to be
 The questioning of everything
 Will set the answers free
 And I've got to go to somewhere else now
 Before I lose my mind
 How far to the nearest person
 Who hasn't been compromised?
 Maybe it's you
