In the middle of the chaos
The talking-heads rhetoric is a bandage
We tune it out and think we are freeLooking around at the world
I see where we stand
In the middle of the chaosThe people seek answers
What they receive are speeches
The talking-heads rhetoric is a bandageWe find no comfort from that
How the do we respond to this
We tune it out and think we are free

Interesting last line, “we tune it out and think we are free”–is that apathy or denial, I wonder? Or both maybe?
