The Madness You Get Used To |
Violence for violence, time after time |
Putting those things right out of your mind |
Thinking this could never happen to you |
Just to those folks on the evening news |
Chorus: It’s no big deal they say |
It’s just the kind of madness you get used to |
It’s a truth you always have known |
It’s tough as sinew and bones |
And you don’t get used to it |
Violence for violence, it just comes around |
It cries in the night with a desperate sound |
But where do you run when fear stalks your dreams |
How do you measure the weight of those things |
Chorus: It’s no big deal they say |
It’s just the kind of madness you get used to |
It’s a truth you always have known |
It’s tough as sinew and bones |
And you don’t get used to it |
The strong will bet by, cause they always do |
The small and the helpless are counting on you |
Doesn’t anybody notice, doesn’t anybody care |
Doesn’t anybody ever give a dam out there |
So up on the hill they fight like little children |
Arguing over who gets the crumbs |
Plotting and planning, cheating and scamming |
While the soul of a country |
Slowly gets numb |
It’s no big deal they say |
It’s just eh kind of madness you get used to |
