We used to know a place

Where we were shielded from disgrace

In a World which made decisions

Away from the media

But that's all gone

Yes that’s all gone

So now we are all free

No longer hidden by the vale

We can touch the pain of war

Or fear an inner city crime

And it's okay

It's okay

Is it okay?

Is it okay?

Is it okay?

And how differently they’ll grow

When we leave them like this

When all information's there

And we leave them like this

And maybe it becomes undone

When we leave them like this

Or maybe it makes them strong

When we leave them like this

And all these scenes of destruction uploaded for free

Available for everyone to see

So, what will it be?

Do we want to show them

All our cruelty now or wait 'til they're ready?

And do we feel safe with the knowledge

That they already know exactly how bad it can be?

We watch the explosions

But they don't even leave a mark

'Cuz we are desensitised
