The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Desensitized
[Intro]
Ya gotta ease up there, ease up there, I can't fuckin' hear anything
What the fuck?
Turn these reels down, turn these
*Feedback*

[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up early on the tenth anniversary
Good Day, fit in clips of it
Between food prep shorts
Weather reports
Check the day's commute
And a look at sports
And I remember how the wind
Was knocked from me
Before it became footage
A footnote in history

[Chorus]
Recently
Well, I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred

[Verse 2]
A fundamental obligation
To my parents and my kids
Matt [?] gave me a glimpse of it
They don't know who shot him
They never caught him
Let's get to the bottom
And blow off the lid
Now, I'm tryin' to keep a balance
Like the plates on top of sticks
Chip away 'til it goes down
When it goes down, apply the kicks
[Chorus]
Recently
Well, I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
Sadly
(Desensitized) We're desensitized
To all the scandals and the cover-ups
The conspiracies, the lies

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Recently
Well, I think I heard
It could have been avoided
And it shouldn't have occurred
Sadly
(Desensitized) We're desensitized
To all the scandals and the cover-ups
The conspiracies, the lies
