"Check on your friends" they say

"Check on your friends"

But what do you do when you can't do enough to help them?

We pass the load between us until we self destruct

We have to bear a system that doesn't care for us

And when we're finally strong enough to admit we're at our worst

We get stuck on waiting lists while those with power get served first

We're one or two paychecks away

While they decidе who they won't save

You and I are collatеral damage

We are all just collateral damage

We look down on those who struggle to survive

When they put up a paywall could you pay to stay alive?

It won't matter how long or badly you are aching

They'll gatekeep your health when there's money to be making

We're sick and tired and can't just wait around for things to get better

We're sick and tired of too little too late, we cannot hold out forever

We're one or two paychecks away

While they decide who they won't save

You and I are collateral damage

We are all just collateral damage

Collateral damage
