You Must Not Look Away

You Must Not Look Away

The world's on fire
and so am I
A sacrifice to economics
in broad daylight, and in the sight
of camcorders, and reporters
detractors and supporters
pelt adolecents and convolecents
who haven't learned their lesson

The world's burning
And I'm certain
between my legs is churning
with agitation, it's concerning
I'm choking,
yes I've spoken
Using the the bible as a prop
there's more dissidents than cops

You must not look away, just an hour, look away
It's only just an hour away
I know I said I would, I'd stand with you If I could
But, I admire what you're trying to say

You must not look away, 100 seconds, far away
It's only just an hour away
I went to see a fight, but a war broke out that night
I'll think of you when the clock strikes midnight

The world's on fire
A funeral pyre
Sweep up the bones and cellphones
arresting those protesting
The heart's decietful,
it is evil
Come up with a solution
monitize the revolution

The world is smoke
The world is fog
Lobsters in the fish tank
They have you in their claws
The laws are broken,
The press is frozen
fulfilling their ambitions
pacifiers in submissions,
Shit kittens

You must not look away, just an hour, look away
It's only just an hour away
I know I said I would, I'd stand with you If I could
But, I admire what you're trying to say

You must not look aways, 100 seconds, far away
It's only just an hour away
I'd stand up for what is right, but Johnny Carson's on tonight
You can see the fires from his studio apartment

It turned once
It can turn back again
Are we in 1938?

Your heart is pure
It can not take much more
Drive home slowly, drop off your date

The world's a fire,
it just took one night
Having sex on top of land mines
I took yours you can have mine
I was faking
being shaken
when you said "sorry bud, i'm taken"
You must be mistaken

The world's all wrong
Drop the atom bomb
On insurgents cause it's urgent
flush your eyes out with detergent
A token
for Minnesotans,
drop your toaster in the ocean
Or stop going through the motions

You must not look aways, just an hour look away
It's only just an hour away
The world is a mistake; the planes are painted "bombs away"
if you squint, you can read what they say

You must not look away, 100 seconds, far away
It's only just an hour away
A new virus everyday, have the last slice of birthday cake
This is what we're dying to say

You must not look away, for God's sake, you can not stay
let's all dance the horrors away
You must not look away but you're trying anyway
This is what we're dying to say
