Getting lost in the so and so

The saddened city covered opens to the lamp-filled streets
It seems as if the fifty thousand so and so get lost within the beats
Sinking lower into the depths of political corruption until it's over your head
God, it's easier to feel nothing, to sink beneath lead

Scratch the damn thing in its entirety, erase it all
The smog-filled, battered concrete takes the lightest fall
Bruised and bullied hearts fill up the police report
No possible way to get a hearing in court

Listen to the people, the shouts and passion-ridden riots
We need to go on a full-scale all-nation diet
To ease the suffering, to heal the pain
Please don't tell me that this is all in vain

The windows of the powerful block out the noise
How dare you shut out their voices? They're only boys
Seeking retribution for those who have been wronged
It's something the fifty thousand so and so have longed

Count the wasted hours outside the window in clear view
Forgiveness won't be given, while you're sitting in a pew
God don't do that easy - it's us who has to let you go
Gravel on your knees, weep your tears yet it's something we can't forgo

Will we ever be able to forget, to forgive?
It's something you have to harbor for all the days you live
