Pay Attention Songtext / Lyric

A lie is a falsehood
Everybody knows it
We've come to a crossroads
'Cause I realise that
Things aren't what they seem
And I see a pattern
Of people and their dreams
Regularly shattered We trust in our nation
That's where we are living
To allow our elevation
Do more than surviving
No-one asks the question
When we need the answer
Are we in the right direction
We don't think it matters We wonder why we're in the situation that we're in
The real truth is we're not paying attention

[Chorus]
We're freely marching on to exploitation
We're blindly moving toward extermination
Because every lie we hear has a justification
And the truth we deny is public relations

You think you have freedom
That's what they all say
But your mind doesn't function
Over medicated
Because of depression
Too much information
And you have no direction
Just don't pay attention

There's so much pollution
Some kinda radiation
Which leads to destruction
Everything is wasting
But political action
Everybody rising
Is deemed a distraction
Well well well well

We wonder what is happening, and how we got into the situation
We're not paying attention

[Chorus]
We're freely marching on to exploitation
We're blindly moving toward extermination
Because every lie we hear has a justification
And the truth we deny is public relations

You say we need discussion
About all our problems
Then we need protection
From those who cause them
We should be talking preservation
For our children
Which leads to evolution
Higher higher!

There can't be hesitation
If we want the real truth
And no more reservations
And you know that means you
What we need as a nation
People come together
Is a spirit of revolution
Around the world

We don't have to believe the words that they spin
If we just keep paying attention

[Chorus 2x]
We're freely marching on to exploitation
We're blindly moving toward extermination
Because every lie we hear has a justification
And the truth we deny is public relations

We're freely marching on to exploitation
We're blindly moving toward extermination
Because every lie we hear has a justification
And the truth we deny is public relations
