Live at the Annex, Bar Harbor, Maine, October 20, 2022

lyrics

Take look around: there’s a lot going down and no one seems to care.
The man is back, and he’s got a knack for keeping us unaware
While he plunders all that we need to thrive. You know that it can’t last,
And it won’t be long before everyone alive is pining for the past.

We’re living in distraction, screened off from what really matters,
And if we don’t hear the call to action, we’re going to wake up to a world that’s shattered.

There’s plastic in the ocean and plastic in our food,
It’s poisoning the air we breathe and it’s poisoning our blood,
The world is dying but how would you know? When there’s still some wealth to plunder
The man throws a tweetstorm to keep us distracted and tear us all asunder.

We’re living in distraction, screened off from what really matters,
And if we don’t heed the call to action, we’re all going to our graves in tatters.

Brothers and sisters let’s get together and help each other out,
We are all in this together, but lost sight of what it’s all about.
We’re being played by crooks and cons, a bottomless pit of greed
Pitting us all against one another and happy to watch us bleed.

We’re living in distraction, screened off from what really matters,
And if we don’t heed the call to action, we’ll all going to wake up to world that’s shattered.
In tatters.
Shattered.
Distraction…
