Pay Attention (Psalm 140)

A lament of outrage and pain.

Verse 1:
When the machine of Empire is chewing you up
and you can see its lying face
When the monster has plans for taking you down
and you're trying to get away, trying to get away

Refrain 1:
Who needs protection? Who's yelling in outrage?
Who's being crushed by greed?
Pay attention.
Who knows rejection? Who's whispering for justice?
Who's stunned with dismay
when they understand the legislation?

Verse 2:
When the venom of hate has infected the laws
and the beast has shoved you to the side
When the system gapes and roars with violence
and you're running for your life, running for your life

Refrain 1

Refrain 2:
Who’s being lied to? Who smells the stink of Empire?

Who's not a priority?
Check the prophecies
Who needs protection from evil on paper?

And who's getting numb
to what streams in on the screens
