This is my attempt at one of those vaguely political songs that people like Katy Perry sing.
Attention
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
sip my tea
watching anarchy
are you with me?
our north star seems so far away
truth is obscured by events
my heart breaks watching fate slip by
grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up
we’re living in darkness at noon
sleepwalkers all around me
agendas turning with the earth
the glow of their eyes shines bright
dark as night I’m afraid
how this all ends is anyone’s guess
the last thing I can do is dance
grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up
[bridge]
don’t tell me to calm down
I’m not a clown
these tears are real
my rage comes from the heart
the only wall that exist
we’re going to tear down
I’m not a slave
have a mind of my own
people we tie our shoes
be prepared to beat the drum
keep the masters on the run
grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up
