Lyrics
Transfixed as we sit, the spectacle of death
Multiplies and overflows like fish and loaves of bread
A modern miracle, what your leaders said
Is exactly what the headlines the next morning read
It’s a big world when you’re so small
From one person’s vantage, you can’t see it all
It’s all about these economies of fear
The television ratings are at record highs this year!
Each reaction mediated, each eulogy curtailed
An “I told you so” for every revolution failed
It’s all about a relationship to violence
If it’s constant and random then you can’t politicize it
Nothing’s left that you can find that would defy belief
Plastic flowers mark synthetic expressions of grief
Ad revenue rising with each national tragedy
Plastic flowers, for you, for me
