Summer sun, city view, for a fee
Nothings won, nothings new
And itll cost you more than just money
Round there the streets arent paved with gold
Everybody hopes to die before they get old
And theres no happy ending but the tale, it is told all the same
And no one will take the blame
So I just look the other way
Isnt it easy to be selective in the things we see?
Lay awake, through the night, feel the pain
Is it fake, is it right?
A million faces but not a single name
And Ive never toiled in a field of mud
Ive never seen a river run red with blood
But then I start to wonder if that means I should stay the same
Theres no one else to blame
If I look the other way
This is my line, so whos going to make it rhyme?
If I look the other way
Isnt it easy to be selective in the things we see?
Summer sun, native view, name your price
Load the gun, praise the few, roll your dice
The story always changes but the message holds true
We are all complicit in the things they do
But its OK, it will never happen to me
But when it does
When you turn to those who see
They just look the other way
Now its too late, weve sealed our own fate
If we look the other way
Isnt it easy, easy
If we look the other way
This is my line, so whos going to make it rhyme?
If we look the other way
Isnt it easy to be selective in the things we see?
