[Verse 1]
Shots ring out - another nobody falls
His eulogy is f*cking scrawled on a bathroom wall
His life, his loss, his agony
Ain't nothing but a Hollywood tragedy
To the family feeding off the TV screen
Always thinking "that's never gonna happen to me"
Until your boy busts his mouth off on the block
Until you're looking at the bullet that your boy caught
[Chorus]
What you're seeing isn't real
What you're watching isn't real
No matter what you wanna think
What you're hearing isn't real
God damn - it's easy when you turn away
Face to face with the pain you see every day
You're guilty as me and no one's innocent
It's hard to face the truth when you want to forget
[Verse 2]
A hungry child bucking in the pale moon
She'll do anyone just to burn her spoon
It is a f*cking shame - she's only fifteen
Hooker - Runaway - Dope fiend - Trash Queen
Another kid shafted by her family
She's a loser in the game she called "Reality"
An overdose - seven lines on the back page
Another child who needed help that we forgot to save
[Chorus]
What you're seeing isn't real
What you're watching isn't real
No matter what you'd like to think
What you're hearing isn't real
God damn - it's easy when you turn away
I'm face to face with the pain and see it every day
But you're guilty as me and no one's innocent
It's hard to face the truth when you want to forget
[Chorus]
God damn - it's easy when you turn away
I'm face to face with the pain and see it every day
But you're guilty as me and no one's innocent
It's hard to face the truth when you want to forget
