The Maze

We hear the voices of the children floating on the wind
as if they are still here
we hear the anguish of the mothers wailing as they suffer
asking why we don't care
watch the world go by on the TV
wonder why we don't cry
there but for the grace of God go I
and I don't even wonder why

We're once removed and too afraid
of the world we see and the price we've paid
we sit alone in a drunken haze and pretend to know
our way through the maze

We will not lift a finger easy just to sit here
pretend that they're not there
the flames are getting closer but I never notice
because I just don't care
watch the likes come in on the PC
wonder why we get high
there's my God wearing Gucci on the TV
God I love that smile

We're once removed and too afraid
of the world we see and the price we've paid
we sit alone in a drunken haze and pretend to know
our way through the maze

Reality is looming just like a storm that's brewing
but I'm acting like it's just not there
now the rain is pouring and all my dreams are drowning
and I'm dying but I just don't care

Take me out to the ball game Daddy
No, I can't be bothered today
I'm too busy pretending to be someone
and it's you my son who'll pay

take me out to the ball game
take me out to the ball game

We're once removed and too afraid
of the world we see and the price we've paid
we sit alone in a drunken haze and pretend to know
our way through the maze
