[Lyric] Sensible Utility (Stj Snak)

I saw this little kid staring dead out through my screen, looking for a way to make her hunger end
Scenes from some forgettable and foreign continent, clearly playing for my sympathy
I felt a slight discomfort as I flipped the channel off
Like a lurking question still remained

I passed a homeless man sitting broken on the street without shelter, folded hands, begging for change
Bloodshot eyes and troubled thoughts inside his bloated head, but nothing a steady job wouldn’t fix
I felt a slight discomfort as I looked the other way
Like a lurking question still remained


We’ve got to fucking help them, don’t we?
What kind of humans are we if we don't?
We got to fucking help them, don’t we?
But we can't save the whole world on our own


One of my old friends came by my house the other day looking for a way out of his problems
Bad decisions and bad luck had caught him in a ditch but I didn’t see how that would concern me
I felt a slight discomfort as my door slammed in his face
Like a lurking question still remained
We got fucking help them don’t we...?

Do we really share a common bound
Just because we share the same genome?
How close do our problems need to be
Before they can make us feel?
