This song is based on a event that the band witnessed outside a Ramones concert. A drunk driver killed a rock photographer. Jesse said the people there were not connecting to the event and were keeping their “socials faces”.
Musically it’s influenced by Stiff Little Fingers according to Jesse
[Intro]
Ha!
[Verse 1]
I saw this guy go down
Wasn't time for fear before his body hit the ground
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
[Verse 2]
Car that hit him pulled to a stop
Driver hid his bottles, he anticipated cops
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
[Interlude]
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Crowd assembled to take a look at death
Shattered skull, fractured body, blacktop running red
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
[Verse 4]
And people look bored like expecting more
People look bored like expecting more!
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
[Bridge]
And sympathy is only friendship's whore, you know
And maybe we don't know who we are anymore
And another spectacle, and it's respectable
To take it lightly like another TV show
So desensitized, so dehumanized
Why stop and think when you can find someplace to go?
[Outro]
We're drowning
We're drowning
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
We're drowning
We're drowning
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
And it's gonna be the death of us, just you wait and see
