"Desensitized" lyrics

Wild adolescents, no empathy about them
Playing the knockout game, carjack the matriarch
Ignore the needy in overflowing shelters
Step right over the homeless bums and filthy scum
In the seas of darkness, they'll just refuse the light
Throw them a line, they'll only choke you harder
Your cries for help will only turn them on

Diseased, destroyed
Devoid of empathy
Always taking, never giving, left behind
There's no future when we're all desensitized

Discarded lessons exchanged for social follows
Crowd panicked, crushing
Headline goes to the stars
Unwanted vagrants, shamed and humiliated
Took several days to find the murder-suicide

How can they be so heartless?
Such disregard for life
Today, the good Samaritan's no longer stopping
Their cries for help a trap to kill us all

Diseased, destroyed
Devoid of empathy
Always taking, never giving, left behind
There's no future when we're all desensitized

Desolate minds grow weary of the hardship
Stick up the night clerk, terroristic threats to plot
Abandoned infants never knew the love of Mother
The world becoming nothing more than piles of shit
Could we all do something before all hope should die?
With good intent, no one needs a fucking martyr
Cities are burning as the soulless march on

Diseased, destroyed
Devoid of empathy
Always taking, never giving, left behind
There's no future when we're all desensitized
