lyrics

A sound surrounds them, biting through
To amplify lies and smother truth
No explanations, no need for proof
A word distorted, a fact abused

A sound confounds them, biting deep
Injects confusion, infection creeps
Your empty promise is washed away
And you know they'll forget, tomorrow
Every single word you said today

And they won't judge you ‘cos they don't care
Because you bring them sound
That familiar sound that's endlessly repeating, reaffirming
But they don't see the stage beneath them
Just so consumed with sound and fury
So full of rage,
Because we won't engage
Their truth is not confirmed by us.

They are not to blame
They're merely players in your game
You paint a picture of the monster hiding underneath their bed
They know exactly who to fear
They know the simple sound they hear
Will bring protection and respect
To distracted to reflect
They don't hear the real monster you so cleverly inflect
And when your words become their only source for knowing what is true
And when the window has moved over to an unfamiliar view
And when the sound is now embedded inside every word they share
They help to feed the sound that bites them, shouting loudly,
'We don't care!'
'We don't care!'
'We don't care!'
