How easily we forget,
How easily we comply
Today are we even the splinter
On the hand that pulls the trigger?

They're still dropping bombs in the name of the city that we live in
They're still dropping bombs in the name of the city that we live in

If time has exhausted us, then fuck us all
Holding solace in what we did
Can't get anything done today
We feel self important too easily,
Backs are sore from the back patting

Oh how easily we're pacified
By bullshit like TV shows on DVD

It shouldn't take an election to remind us that there's a war on
It shouldn't take a song
For us to come together and scream
That "We're still here and we're still pissed"

Remember the anger from five years ago
Just like our parents, we've spent
Most of our twenties with a war on
We leave legacies of tax-dollar land mines
We're too caught up in our own shit
To consider, to consider any of it

How easily we forget,
How easily we comply
Today are we even the splinter
On the hand that pulls the trigger?

They're still dropping bombs in the name of the city that we live in

I hope by the time you hear this song it's too dated
