All the Hubbub

Tell me about all the problems
We are all about to face
Tell me as the television
Echoes from another place
And we laugh as we watch as they fall apart
All inaction about to start
And we laugh as we cry as we’re fooled again
Same message left in the end
Stay on the path play it safe
Try not to get in the way
Something that I have to say
One thing I won’t give away
I try to block out all the voices
That want my attention
Can’t listen to another word
Beyond this dimension
And I try to block out all the hubbub
I cannot make this stuff up Narrative out of place
Let’s cut to the chase
Cannot change
Stay on the path play it safe
(Save it all for sympathy)
Try not to get in the way
(Stumble here in front of me)
Something that I have to say
(Spending all my energy)
One thing I won’t give away
(Must maintain my sanity)
