I hate myself, because I can see what's happening.
While we're prancing about on stage,
Putting on a show for the paying audience,
Singing about "scene politics",
Talking about selling out,
You're living the real-fucking-deal
Struggling every day to survive
But we're happy to turn the blind eye
And carry on our comfortable lives
Immersed in a world that can't feel/[understand] your pain
Your family rotting in mass graves- just constitutes our refrain
Your fucked up reality is just a selling point for us.
Sorry.
