Don't Get Involved

Words like bullets break the silence

Oh no don’t get involved

This one’s full-on could be violent

Oh no don’t get involved

Keep your head son

Think about yourself

If you wind up dead

You won't be any help

Well I heard my mother’s voice

As I was standing in the train

Trying not to make eye contact

Another psycho in the subway

Oh no don't get involved

Another run-in on the runway

Oh no don't get involved in their world

So you’re in a coffee shop

It’s pretty hard not to eavesdrop

Some people are like vultures

Who prey on other cultures

So you pay your bill and you drive away

But you didn’t give the right of way

Now you’ll have to deal with road rage

It's like we’re living in the Stone Age

Idle gossip at McCabe’s bar

Oh no don't get involved

One more me-too one more shamed star

Oh no don't get involved

Unless of course the discourse is online

Then everybody feels the need to chime in

Well it seems to me when no one knows your name or sees your face

Courage seems to spring up where at first there was no trace

They’ll say one thing in real life something else in cyberspace

But do yourself a favour

Don't get involved in their world
