Compassion Is Nothing

Society's greatest achievement to date
was fooling herself that she could tolerate
being governed
by money and greed,
not giving a fuck about people in need
That commerce is king and compassion is nothing
Compassion is nothing

So who can we trust and who should we kill?
We need them to keep distributing the pills
that we swallow
with no questions asked
Chugging 'em down with what's left in the flask
We don't want to feel anything that is real
'Cause what is real?

My feelings are impaired
and I don't think I care
They trained me hard
they trained me well
I'm under this pharmaceutical spell
And the secrets they won't tell
I don't need to know

So we swallow
with no questions asked
Chugging it down with what's left in the flask
We don't want to feel anything that is real
'Cause what is real?
