Lyrics of 'Forget' by Sandpeople

I live within these blinders, constant reminders
to focus on myself, the hope is that it helps
To force somebody else to take that first step
and be a torch, my guiding light ain't been used yet
it's like, I'm more content to keep this world turning
than to stop for a second and address that there is hurting
I'd rather attack someone that's not
because there's jealousy within me for these crabs in the pot
The passionate flock follow the leader
'til you crash through a stock
your bag's being watched
but that's okay, you keep looking ahead
when living for the day's been made officially dead
We'll administer the blame, get you fitted for the chains
Spend a minute, minuscule amount of time for the grains
of sand that pass through the glass, leaving us forgetful
it's easy not to think of other people

(Ethic first time/Sapient second time):
(The past) Forget it, nothing is permanent
(We ask) Forgiveness, overlook earning it
(Attack) the innocent, embrace death
when you're living in the future, it's easy to forget

Electronic screens will teach him spatial intelligence
but the negative elements, some feel compelled to skip
not forced to think, mind blank, face the television
games don't portray that tanks make the skeletons
In real life the little child doesn't realise
what a bullet hit in your skin could feel like
he kills time, if he gets shot in the game he'll come back
but if he gets shot in the face then he'll die
Might as well buy him a toy machine gun
so he can dream of fatigues and blowing things up
we must remember what brings us to the end
is over-pleasing of the flesh and the people we neglect

It's easy to forget what we go to work for
it's easy to forget to put your best foot forward
They outsource the work force, beat the workhorse dead
misled by the dreams that we work towards
You can find 'em on the corner, slinging
we forgot we gave our students second-class education
Separate the ignorance, what we're all forgetting
is at one time everyone's bloodline was immigrant
We won't forget the day that they hijacked the airplanes
forgot it was in striking distance of Virginia airbase
to paraphrase, we shoulda shot 'em down, but didn't
we at war with ourselves, don't forget it

Forget it, nothing is permanent
Forgiveness, overlook earning it
The innocent embrace death
when you're living in the future it's easy to forget

I stole this rhythm from the fucking sky
laying down on broken concrete
and let the rain hit my open eyes
Third time's a charm
if you're open wide, rotate the dial
'til you locate the broken vial
New-school Unabomber, do not touch signs
living in the land full of too-long bus rides
How could you expect us not to bust nine
when guns can cost less than rent and last a month's time
Running past the fence, I must've bumped mine
you're flagged down [...]
Trapped in traffic, punch the warp drive
and once the brakes work, urge the van to the side of the dirt
It's not like getting mad when you stain a white shirt
and nobody wanna die, we afraid it might hurt
it's time to turn tides and every day is like work
sitting too close to lights and you might get burnt

Forget it, nothing is permanent
Forgiveness, overlook earning it
The innocent embrace death
when you're living in the future it's easy to forget
