Desensitized Songtext

von Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Woke up early on the tenth anniversary.
GOOD MORNING.
Fit in clips of it between food prep
Shorts, weather reports.
Check the days' commute and a look at sports.
I remember how the wind was knocked from me before it became footage.
A footnote in history.
Recently I heard it could have been avoided.
It shouldn't have occurred.
A fundamental obligation to my parents and my kids.
LIFE gave me a glimpse of it.
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 'til it goes down, when it goes down apply the kicks.
Recently I think I heard it could have been avoided.
It shouldn't have occurred.
Sadly we're all desensitized to all the scandals and cover-ups,
The conspiracies and lies.
