Desensitized

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 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 I think 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 desensitized



To all the scandals and the cover ups



The conspiracies and lies
