"Kindness Isn't Common Sense" lyrics

On the streets of Minneapolis
They're back harassing immigrants
A fake badge and a violent wish to tread
She was good, a peaceful activist
A parked car stopping traffic
When a madman in a ski mask shot her dead

A shocking lack of empathy
You'd think for once that we'd agree
It's heartless to call this self-defense
I guess kindness isn't common
I guess kindness isn't common sense

A world away, we sit and wait
A century's worth long debate
Is escalating right before our eyes
But the winning side will never quit
They're starving out the Gaza Strip
And stopping ships to cut off all supplies

Still you won't call it a genocide
The little kids in Palestine are dying
While you're sitting on the fence
I guess kindness isn't common
I guess kindness isn't common sense

Hungry under traffic lights
And clinging to a cardboard sign
And cars that pass without a second glance
As if love your neighbor's not for those
In need right underneath your nose
Compassion never had a fighting chance

If you're thinking, "Where did he go wrong?"
That someone else will come along
And be the one to help his circumstance
Remember, kindness isn't common (Remember, kindness isn't common)
Remember, kindness isn't common (Remember, kindness isn't common)
Remember, kindness isn't common sense
