Текст песни Look The Other Way - Katie Pruitt

They bulldozed over the memories
To build apartments with amenities
And left the low income families
Broke on the outskirts of town
Might be the change on the surface that bothers me
Or the underlying lack of humanity
Might be a little of everything
But I can never quite pin it down

And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is"
As if that's all that they know how to say
When you walk past do you even stop and ask
Or have you learned to look the other way?

The devil's wearing a suit and tie
Swearin' on the Bible, there's a twitch in his eye, I guess
Every crook's got an alibi
As long as they got money to blow
'Cause every last dollar goes to feed the machine
So they can keep on selling the American dream
While our TV dinners and Photoshop's screens
Just keep on killing us slow

And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is"
Feels like that's all they know how to say
And it's so sad to watch you give up the little power you have
All because you'd rather look the other way

Headlines are bleedin' red
With the name of a man that I've never met
Cuffed on the street with a knee on his neck
And tears spillin' out of his eyes
Are we heartless or are we numb?
Changin' the channel on the television
And telling ourselves we're not the ones
And refusing to apologize

And I get pissed when people tell me "That's the way it is"
When there is so much more that we can say
If you walked past knowing that breath might be his last
Would you still have looked the other way?

(Would you still have looked the other way?)
Would you still have looked the other way?
(Would you still have looked the other way?)
Would you still have looked the other way?
