Distant Sense of Random Menace Urthboy

[Verse 1]
Maybe it's too complicated, maybe it's a minefield
Maybe it's like someone else's murder, it's not quite real
Buried page 10 of today's paper
Read about another road rage of a crazed teenager
The mother gives the vox grab saying she's just
Sad, and all the justice in the world won't bring her daughter back
Flavour of the 48 hours til the news finds another
Utter tragedy to increase the views
And you still never know if you've reached the truth
30 seconds to a minute and you're in it up to the tips of your toes
And the truth can be a dodgy uncle
Media moguls and leaders act like Simon & Garfunkle
The, right wing squarks for yet more hawks
And the, left wing calls for yet more peace talks
And many people left are asking who to believe
Cos reality is as muddy as token olive leaves
And apparently you can't wear your heart on your sleeve
Cos the menace is too distant for listeners to grieve
And even umm, I've been numbed til the cartoon alternative
Just trying to learn to live

[Chorus #1]
Kigali
It's just a distant sense of random menace
Chechnya
It's just a distant sense of random menace
Lebanon
It's just a distant sense of random menace
Woomera
It's just a distant sense of random menace
