don't get caught up

(album: searching for freedom - 2021)

It's a slow burn
When we're trying to do right by the rest of the world
And now they sell immunity too
In pills and pearls and tax
All our freedoms subdued
Can you believe that we are here still arguing
About the right to choose what we put in our bodies
But you see it's so easy to do
When bill sells it like its facts
But in fact, it isn't true

Don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us
So don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's been making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us

What if they
Called for war
Nobody came and everybody broke the law
It wouldn't be so easy to do
But the law ain't always right
That's what we learnt in WW2

Can you believe that we are here still arguing
When we should trust each other
More than we trust our screens
But you see it's so easy to do
When the news says its facts
But in fact, it isn't true

Don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us
So don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's been making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us

Can you tell me
What's the cost
For faster connection
What's exactly the rush?
If it's safe it's easy to prove
Just get tests done by someone else
And show us the truth
The truth it isn't easy
The truth it has a cost
The truth is being censored
The truth is I implore, that for me
It's not easy to do
When I have nothing to win
And have everything to lose

Don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us
So don't get caught up
Letting the news tear each other apart
Fear's been making money but doing nothing for us
Nothing for us
Nothing for us

Oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh
