Lyrics
Does anyone care or are they to busy watching and unlearning
Expressing concern about people's indifference or preoccupation, possibly with media distractions.
Glued to the TV while the rest of the world is burning
Highlighting societal apathy and disconnection, where people focus on trivial entertainment while serious global issues persist.
Catching your attention by televising the latest human tragedy
Criticizing the media for exploiting and sensationalizing human tragedies to grab attention.
Focusing your energy on the furthest thing from reality
Pointing out the distraction from reality caused by excessive focus on trivial matters.
Who knows what goes on while you're hooked to their lies?
Raising skepticism about the hidden activities during the consumption of media lies.
As long as the public
Referring to the public's attention or lack thereof.
As the public isn't looking, do they care who dies?
Questioning whether the public cares about real issues when not being observed.
And they have their ways of keeping you occupied
Addressing strategies employed to keep individuals occupied and distracted.
You can't see what they're trying to hide
Highlighting the concealment of information by those in power.
Do you trust your government?
Prompting reflection on trust in governmental entities.
Do you trust a higher power?
Raising a similar question about trust in higher authorities or institutions.
Do you think the only world happenings
Challenging the limited perspective gained from mainstream news sources.
Are what you see in the news each hour?
Questioning the narrow view of world events presented in hourly news broadcasts.
Why do we know everything about the last day
Criticizing the disproportionate focus on recent events compared to historical context.
And neglect the last fifty years?
Pointing out the neglect of significant events from the past fifty years.
Would you even question that things don't go on that no one hears?
Suggesting that certain events occur unnoticed or unreported.
You're sidetracked by a fictional diversion
Accusing individuals of being misled by fictional distractions.
Fooled into trusting a murderous monster
Condemning blind trust in harmful or deceptive figures and institutions.
Shut it off, stop being so numb to the truth
Encouraging people to reject numbness and indifference to the truth.
Shut it off, stop being so numb to the truth
Reiterating the call to reject emotional detachment and face the harsh reality.
