Try not to feel connected
It's funny that we don't try

Don't just lie there
Get up and say

We try not to feel affected

Open eyes
Televise

Don't just lie there
Get up and say
That this is not okay
I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say

In this city that takes you down
Yeah

I'm sure you felt it when they frown
Yeah

Don't just lie there
Get up and say

I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say
