Toxin

Three shots in the back The killer white in blue The young victim black The fucking pig was acquitted What kind of god could justify that And fifty dead in the mosques A different way but to the same god they pray The perpetrator was sick White-power politicians pull the same trick There's too many tragedies to mourn And when they pass What am I supposed to do Fuck And where the fuck is god in these times There is no law They get away with these crimes These awful things happen To those who deserve better And nobody cares What am I supposed to do in these times I know the problem But a way I can't find Upset with myself For not knowing how to respond To these agonies There's too many tragedies to mourn What can I do but shut myself in I'm not absolved There's too much hate This toxin must evaporate There's too many tragedies to mourn Am I complicit Am I selfish What am I supposed to do Where the fuck is god while they pray Fake benevolent groups profit from this day Espousing kindness Turn their backs on all other plight And nobody knows What am I supposed to do think or say I have no answers I stay out of the way Beside myself for what seems like an eternity While I melt away There's too many tragedies to mourn What can I do but shut myself in I'm not absolved There's too much hate This toxin must evaporate There's too many tragedies to mourn This world is filled with toxin I'm not absolved There's too much hate This toxin must evaporate There's too many tragedies to mourn Am I complicit Am I selfish What am I supposed to do Toxin What am I supposed to do
