From the recording Hope & Other Distractions
Lyrics
Judgement is out there
It comes sneaking in
It sees and it hears
But it does not feel a thing
It wrecks and destroys
Before taking its leave
Transmission set in motion
Like a novel digital disease
Did you see?
Did you hear?
Can't believe, its so vulgar
Did you know?
I’ve been told
Can't believe, its disgraceful
Judgement is out there
Can you feel it peeking in?
Mutating opinions
Before freely spreading them
It’s infecting scores now
Penetrating-any quarantine
Shutting open minds for fear
Of the wrong ones getting in
Did you see?
Did you hear?
Can't believe, its so vulgar
Did you know?
I’ve been told
Can't believe, so disgraceful
Judgement’s gone viral
And it has us on our knees
Swelling digital digests
Make it hard to breath
You can’t speak you mind
Public space ain’t safe any more
Without risk being hunted, shunned
And forced back behind closed doors
Now everyone’s a carrier
And the futures in our hands
Do we vaccinate our opinions
Or go out and make a stand
What we’ve all forgotten
Is that our judgements at best flawed
When more humility
Would be the ultimate cure
What we’ve all forgotten
Is that our judgements at best flawed
When more humility would be the ultimate cure
Contract compassion
Contagious empathy
Social Eugenics is a pretty dark path to herd immunity
Social Eugenics is a pretty dark path to herd immunity
