Kasey Chambers - Ignorance

Don't wanna read the paper
I don't like bad news
Last night a man got shot
Outside the House of Blues

I'd like to ignore it
I'd like to just pretend
That the reason for it
Is something I can comprehend

I don't listen to the radio
Last time it made me cry
Two boys went crazy
Fifteen kids died

And I don't know their families
I don't ask 'em how they're goin'
They're on the other side of the world,
But it's way too close to home.

I got somethin' to say
And I thought it might be worth a mention
If you're not pissed off at the world
Then you're just not payin' attention
And you can turn off the TV and go about your day
Just ‘cause you don't see it
It don't mean it's gone away. hey

We don't talk to our neighbours
They've got funny coloured skin
We see 'em out on the sidewalk
But we don't invite 'em in.
We only eat when we're hungry
Then we throw the rest away
While babies in Cambodia
Are starving everyday
We risk our lives, We hit our wives
We act like everything is funny
We hide our pain while we go insane
We sell our souls for money
We curse our moms, we build our bombs
We make our children cry
We watch “The Band” while Vietnam
Just watch their children die

I got something to say
And I thought it might be worth a mention
If you're not pissed off at the world
Then you're just not paying attention
And you can turn off the TV and go about your day
But just ‘cause you don't see it, it don't mean it's gone away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
Make it go away
Don't wanna read the paper
I don't like bad news
Last night a man got shot
Outside the House of Blues

I'd like to ignore it
I'd like to just pretend
That the reason for it
Is something I can comprehend

It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
Make it go away
