Lyrics-
I saw this guy go down
Wasn't time for fear before his body hit the ground
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
Car that hit him pulled to a stop
Driver hid the bottles he anticipated cops
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
Crowd assembled to take a look at death
Shattered skull fragile body blacktop running red
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
People looked bored like expecting more
People looked bored like expecting more
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
And sympathy is only friendships whore you know
And maybe we don't know who we are anymore
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
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

My dad would always play this album in the car when I was a kid. I'm 20 years old now and I have to say, my parents raised me right.

I don’t understand why we’re bringing up politics. This is op ivy. If I wanted to argue about politics I would have gone to a dead Kennedy’s song and posted.

My favorite Op Ivy song (judging by views) is one of the least liked from the album. I don't get it. This song rocks and has a great message.

I realize I'm replying to a 5 year old comment, but good luck. I had to special order this album back in 2001 from a FYE back in 2001. They were hard to find even back then. You might be able to run into one at a Hot Topic if they still carry stuff like this.
