She wants her way, he craves his say
Tangled in the moment
warring with our lovers
all of us transfixed
we forget about our brothers.
Caught up in the ignorance,
Cut short by the incidents.
Living by the gun
they forget to kiss their mothers
Ending up addicted and k**ing one another
Dreams fulfilled with prescriptions
Minds controlled by media
Ohhh, oh nooo...
Riff raff on the radio, terror on the tele
Oppression in the papers
murder in the movies
Our minds closed off and hollowed
Our hearts drained low and shallow
So what's our fixation with destined destruction? Are we becoming slaves to our paranoid notions? Are we dead before we've died? Is it all in our minds, or just the Great Divide?
I don't know, but once been told
That when change comes, it comes real slow
I guess that's true for me and you. 'Cause look at just what we do.
We wear our masks, we grin and lie
We shade or face to blind our eyes
We wear our masks, we grin and lie
We shade or face to blind our eyes
The only way to change this tide?
Tangled in the moment
warring with our lovers
all of us transfixed
we forget about our brothers...
