"Desensitized" lyrics - THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES

Well I 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

And I remember how the wind
Was knocked from me
Before it became footage
A footnote in history

Recently well I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred

A fundamental obligation
To my parents and my kids
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 well I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
Sadly we're desensitized
To all the scandals and the cover ups
The conspiracies, the lies

Recently well I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
Sadly we're desensitized
To all the scandals and the cover ups
The conspiracies, the lies
