National Amnesia Lyrics - New York Voices - New York Voices

On Wall Street, it's been sheer pandemonium 

On Main Street, children lost and alone again 

Don't tell, I can't handle no more bad news 

(I don't want to know) 

Apartheid: people long for equality 

We all hide in our separate societies 

Don't tell me I can't take no, no more blues 

(What are we gonna do?) 

National Amnesia 

'Cause I don't really wanna see 

What's going on around us here 

It's so clear that it don't apply to me 

The truth is often frightening 

But one thing should be understood: 

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

They're starving, but they're so very far away 

We'll survive, and besides, I've got bills to pay 

Babies holding out their dirty hands 

(I don't want to know) 

Collusion: just make sure that the story's clear 

Disillusion: give them just what they wanna hear 

Confusion all across the world 

(What are we gonna do?) 

National Amnesia 

'Cause I don't really wanna see 

What's going on around us here 

It's so clear that it don't apply to me 

The truth is often frightening 

But one thing should be understood: 

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

Changing times, growing stranger by the year 

That's okay, I hear what I wanna hear 

Look around and try to take a point of view 

Don't you know what goes down turns around and comes back to you? 

(I don't want to know) 

(What are we gonna do?) 

National Amnesia

What's going on around us here 

It's so clear that it don't apply to me

National Amnesia 

Is upon us so what are we gonna do?
