Song Lyrics

We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).
We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).

What ever happened to common sense and respect?
What ever happened to decency and trust?
We cower behind our screens and nicks to bully people we've never even met.
Every thread is another chance to prove our, so called, points.
A digital playground, a sandbox for adults.
Every thread is another chance to prove our, so called, points.
A digital playground, a sandbox for adults.

We live with both eyes shut and sleep with one eye open.
We live with both eyes shut and sleep with one eye open (and sleep with one eye open).

We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).
We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).

What ever happened to common sense and respect?
What ever happened to decency and trust?
We cower behind our screens and nicks to bully people we've never even met.
Every thread is another chance to prove our, so called, points.
A digital playground, a sandbox for adults.
Every thread is another chance to prove our, so called, points.
A digital playground, a sandbox for adults.

At the precipice is where we're supposed to change, I'd say we're pretty close.
So far, it's only getting worse, let's hope for vertigo
To save us from the fall!

We live with both eyes shut and sleep with one eye open.
We live with both eyes shut and sleep with one eye open (and sleep with one eye open).

We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).
We don't listen to understand,
We listen only to reply (no compromise, no compromise).

In a world polluted by misinformation,
Fake news spreads like a disease across every nation.
We hold our own truth high above science and education.

We seek debate but conduct our own monologues
Let's aim to, instead, embrace the true meaning of the word dialogue.

In our quest to be righteous we've traded facts for opinions and belief,
Let's unlearn these unproved teachings and find knowledge and relief.

We must learn how to look before we can hope to see,
But our reach shall, indeed, strive to exceed our grasp
For only then: can we truly be free
