I try so hard to turn a blind eye
Telling me I’m not that guy
To worry about the worrying and dying
I try so hard pretending it’s not my call
Coz I am no soldier, why bother about a brother
I am no judge, why bother about the oppressed
I am no Imam, why bother about the congregation
I am no priest, why bother about the clergy
I am no damn politician, why waste time politicking
I am so cool dude, got none to do with the cruel
It’s you they are after, I’m the ever cool not to matter
But here still I am, finding it hard to taint the aim
Of making so much noise, causing a lot more trouble
For you already made it miserable, fooling yourself it’s honorable
But burying us deep under the rubble
It’s crumbling and falling and threatening
You are fearful, it’s eating you, it will scrag you!!
