DISTRACTION
Be near a waterfall
Living where the water flows
When we were young
We had a river near our home
But it was different
Right now I am hungry
I grab a mango from the tree next to me
Life's so easy, pure, life's so sweet
Back home it's different, oh
I take dirt for happiness
I give away these
Fancy clothes for consciousness
It is what it is
A distraction
Stare at screens
You can't see the truth
Guess who will lose
Endlessly considering
And don't know what to do
Distraction
Distraction
You are distracted
Sorry, don't wanna complain
Gave me water to grow
And enough light to find my way
Every time I think about it
I'm ashamed
It's complicated
Why are we allowed to swim
While everybody drowns?
Too busy in our bubble
We're just looking down
Mouth and eyes are closed
But everybody frowns
It's complicated, oh
I give dirt for happiness
I buy all these
Fancy clothes for consciousness
It is what it is
A distraction
Stare at screens
You won't see the truth
Guess who will lose
Endlessly considering
And don't what to do
Distraction
Oh no no no no
I am distracted
I'm distracted
I'm distracted
Distracted by all the lights
Shine so bright
A whole country gets blind
We messed up
Living where the water flows
When we were young
We had a river near our home
But it was different
Right now I am hungry
I grab a mango from the tree next to me
Life's so easy, pure, life's so sweet
Back home it's different, oh
I take dirt for happiness
I give away these
Fancy clothes for consciousness
It is what it is
A distraction
Stare at screens
You can't see the truth
Guess who will lose
Endlessly considering
And don't know what to do
Distraction
Distraction
You are distracted
Sorry, don't wanna complain
Gave me water to grow
And enough light to find my way
Every time I think about it
I'm ashamed
It's complicated
Why are we allowed to swim
While everybody drowns?
Too busy in our bubble
We're just looking down
Mouth and eyes are closed
But everybody frowns
It's complicated, oh
I give dirt for happiness
I buy all these
Fancy clothes for consciousness
It is what it is
A distraction
Stare at screens
You won't see the truth
Guess who will lose
Endlessly considering
And don't what to do
Distraction
Oh no no no no
I am distracted
I'm distracted
I'm distracted
Distracted by all the lights
Shine so bright
A whole country gets blind
We messed up
