Lyrics
I have seen the flipside, I'm not blind
I have experienced the negative aspects, and I am not oblivious to them.
I know what's going on, I'm not stupid
I understand the current situation; I am not lacking in intelligence.
And I have seen the gutter, I'm not blind
I have witnessed the lowest points, and I am not ignorant of them.
I know it can't go on, I'm not stupid
I recognize that the current state is unsustainable; I am not naive.
But don't tell me that I don't care
Despite my awareness, do not claim that I lack concern or empathy.
Don't tell me that I don't care
Reiterating the assertion that I do care; don't underestimate my empathy.
Don't tell me that I don't care
Emphasizing my caring attitude; don't dismiss my concern.
Don't tell me that I don't care
Asserting once again that I care; don't deny my compassion.
I can hear the beggars, I'm not deaf
I am not deaf; I can hear the pleas of the disadvantaged.
I know who's in charge, I'm not stupid
I am aware of those in power, and I am not gullible or ignorant.
And I can see the dopers, I'm not blind
I observe the influence of substances, and I am not turning a blind eye.
