Participation to changes in life is getting quite hard
Incarcerate the white picket fence of a comfortable house
With a swimming pool green lawn and gym
Credit cards, bank accounts make sure the future is bright
So why should someone of them bother what's happening outside
CNN is turned to the wide screen
Soap bubbled series news manufactured to entertain
A brainwashing machine that's designed to keep them from thinking
Watching the world from the sofa, it feels safe and warm
Sinking neck-deep in quicksand
Since when "Me casa es su casa"
Try to walk a mile in these shoes
How can they sleep at night
Collective consciousness clean
Rest assured
There's nothing we can do
We're better off this way
Let's sit around and wait for our place in heaven
I use my pencil like a gun, put ideas in the shells
Makeshift trigger
My self made weapon of choice
To fight this lethargic status, oblivion
No righteous compassion, castrated sympathy, hibernation
Life unbearable east from heaven
Women are beaten with stones
South African children starving to death
Can you imagine these graves
Tienanmen still remember the students
Activists for human rights tortured and killed
Is it just collateral damage
Is it just collateral damage
Is it just collateral damage
Victims of circumstance
Is it just collateral damage
Walk a mile in these shoes
Is it just collateral damage
Is it just collateral damage
I can't stand watching it
How can you
