Desensitized - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Woke up early

On the tenth anniversary

GOOD MORNING

Fit in clips of it Between food prep shorts

Weather reports

Check the day’s commute

And a look at sports

I remember how the wind

Was knocked from me Before it became footage

A footnote in history

Recently I think I heard it could have been avoided

It shouldn’t have occurred

A fundamental obligation

To my parents and my kids LIFE

Gave me a glimpse of it Don’t know who shot him

They never caught him

Let’s get to the bottom

And blow off the lid

I’m trying to keep a balance

Like the plates on top of sticks

Chip away 'til it goes down

When it goes down apply the kicks

Recently I think I heard

It could have been avoided

It shouldn’t have occurred

Sadly we’re desensitized

To all the scandals and the cover ups

The conspiracies and lies
