Desensitized
The young will grow to
Not feel much of anything
And we jut don't seem to care
Dollar signs
We need more footage
Cash in on the tragedy
Why aid in the repair
Please promise me today
That you will stop and feel, oh oh
That when it's through
You'll feel, oh oh
Please
Move camera
Strike a pose
We must have something special
Look they're dying on their knees
I'll give you my heart
Then you can
Sell it to the revolution
And ride that bitch for free
Please promise me today
That you will stop and feel, oh oh
Please
The young will grow to
Not feel much of anything
And we jut don't seem to care
We need more footage
Cash in on the tragedy
Why aid in the repair
That you will stop and feel, oh oh
That when it's through
You'll feel, oh oh
Strike a pose
We must have something special
Look they're dying on their knees
Then you can
Sell it to the revolution
And ride that bitch for free
That you will stop and feel, oh oh

It's a pleading wake up call to the listener. Stop and feel, care about what's going on around you, by the end of the day maybe it'll sink in. It's also a criticism of our culture - we're all about image not the substance, and the greed endemic to our society that feeds off suffering, how we're so apathetic and desensitized that it doesn't seem to matter. He's also lashing out at counter-culture movements that get snapped up and commercialized, and in the end lose their hearts to money.
lyrics are a bit off
I really like this song, but... I can't say I know much about what it means...ah well.
