It was supposedly a riot Or something of the sort It was supposedly a kill And a few hundreds more Supposedly a tear Rolled, in a hurry down a hundred faces and though I wasnt there to see these I sure heard. It was supposedly pain And wails, and fears, And the perception that informed the knowledge that well, It'll always be here. Its supposedly this thing That I hear, numbs you to feel. I dont know why we stare at you on TV Sharing stories of me and my own That I know, I really should know Telling me things that I dont dare think. I'm sorry but there's gotta be a file somewhere back there for, "God have mercy"s Since God is sure to send yet another begotten son to save the good, forgive the uglies and maybe if we're lucky; undo the wrongs so that no one, not one of My kins would ever be forsaken Yes yes! I knowwww! I know, Mr. I heard it too. Though you narrate it like its something new. I'm just as bothered as you. Hey, but the other day, I just about made the biggest change! I just about cried loud enough For its echoes to make a quake. Hey, I know, Mr. Did you hear me say, I just about remembered Exactly what you were trying to say. Are you listening? If today, I was to stomp my feet in a dessert full of bees If today I was to shout in a pond full of bears If somehow today I became pyromanic, listen to me, , and I lit a fire in a cemetery mister mister, Hope you hear me, Which one of the dead bodies would get up to rescue the rest or easier yet mister, riddle me this, who would run? *inspired by an NL thread (that i cant seem to find for the life of me arrrgh!0* |
