Desensitized

{God, he is up there
He is up there
I can't fucking hear anything
What the fuck?
I think he can't hear anything}

Well I woke up early
On the tenth anniversary
Did they fit in clips of
In between food prep shorts
Weather reports

Check the day's commute
And a look at sports
I remember how the wind
Was knocked from me
Before it became footage
A footnote in history

Recently well I think, I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
A fundamental obligation
To my parents and my kids
Life gave me a glimpse of it

They don't know who shot him
They never caught him
Let's get to the bottom
And blow off the lid
I'm trying to keep a balance
Like the plates on top of sticks
Chip away till it goes down
When it goes down apply the kicks

Recently well I think, I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
Sadly we're desensitized
To all the scandals and the cover ups
The conspiracies and lies
