Ammunition for the Ignorant


No one cares to make a sound - So complacently silent
Just blank stares, entertainingly glazed over - Conveniently blinded
No one spared, no, no one's free, but we think we are though
Ignorance doesn't make us innocent

None of us are bleeding, so no one seems to care
Tell me how it's fair? That others are in need and all we do is,
Change the channel, Numb our minds, Ignore it yet another time

No one cares to try and understand about our fellow brothers of a foreign land
Assume they're evil because that's what our TV told us
No one cares their land is being destroyed
Who gives a Fuck about genocide?
It's not us, so I guess it's somebody else's problem

None of us are bleeding, so no one seems to care
Tell me how it's fair? That others are in need and all we do is
Change the channel, Numb our minds
Close our hearts and shut our blinds,
All the while, killing the soul of the universe one starving child at a time!!!

If no one's in need then there's no one to blame
Millions are dying we should all be ashamed
The business of war is a man-made machine,
To benefit few, consumed and fueled by greed

If no enemy, then there's no one to blame
If there's no one to fear, then there's no way to take
If no enemy, then there's no one to blame
If there's no one to fear, then there's no way to take

Contrived "Terror" is the tool to manipulate democracies
Via media subversions, Amplified to alter our beliefs
Saturating our existence with false information and imagery
Provide the people with a target they can hate, Thus creating unity

No one cares to make a sound - So complacently silent
Just blank stares, entertainingly glazed over - Conveniently blinded
No one's spared, no, no one's free, We're all ignorant to some degree
The only difference is some of us are more guilty
Not the ones who are blind, but the one's who can
