In “9th at Pine”, lyricist Vinnie Fiorello weighs the moral implications of whether or not to intervene upon seeing a fistfight. Vinnie did not ultimately try to stop the fight on that fateful Saturday night, but feels that he should have.
[Verse 1]
Which will it be, sympathy or apathy?
Which part of the human condition will I believe?
Tried and it's tested and I've just decided
Tried then it's tested and I have decided I've failed
[Chorus]
When it all came down on that Saturday night
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
Can we still say we're civilized?
Watched some kid go down
[Verse 2]
Is it the crowd, or the way it's going down?
Is it being human watching all this without a sound?
Tried and it's tested and I just decided
Tried then it's tested and I just decided I failed
[Chorus]
When it all came down on that Saturday night
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
Can we still say we're civilized?
Watched some kid go down at 9th at Pine
[Chorus]
When it all came down on that Saturday night
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
Can we still say we're civilized?
Watched some kid go down at 9th at Pine
[Outro]
Watched some kid go down at 9th at Pine
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
