Intro: spoken ("What the fuck are y'all doing is the question This is the question") verse 1 The animals break out their ca - ges, now Chaos is raining down around us But here we stand with our arms fol - ded Do you wanna be fr - ee of this? verse 2 When panic rises like the oceans, we Just keep on flicking through the stations, 'cause If we don't post it does it hap - pen? Oh I wanna be fr - ee of this Pre-Chorus Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long? Won't someone pour ice water on me? It only matters if we care now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders And I remember when we cared now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders verse 3 Movies and news on televi - sion Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, oh When real life's more fucked up than fic - tion Do you wanna be fr - ee of this? Pre-Chorus Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long? Won't someone pour ice water on me? It only matters if we care now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders And I remember when we cared now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders Bridge I don't wanna play dumb, dumb anymore I just wanna feel something, like before I don't wanna feel numb, numb anymore I just wanna something, like before It only matters if we care now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders And I remember when we cared now, If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders Spoken ("Television viewers have the choice of watching the tragedy play out from the seating and comfort of their living rooms But victims have to respond to the pressure of the media while still in shock") Ending If you're way beyond that Then I'm gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders
