Intro:
C Am Em G
Verse 1:
Em (N.C.)
We’re taking paths of least resistance
And never feel our soul’s persistence
Turn on the radio, we don’t want to know
Keep on running in cruise control
Em (N.C.)
We were never meant to live like this
So much is happening too easy to miss, yeah
Cheap thrills, social media pills
Use sex like a drug and we can’t keep still
Prechorus 1:

Distracted, distracted

Keep ourselves so districted

Hearts ready for the fire

Slow down inside the riot
Em
Stand still against the tide
Emadd2 G
Keep fighting for the silence

We won’t numb the pain
Verse 2:
Em
Talk influence and being strategic
But all I’m feeling is narcissistic
Use recognition for the adrenaline
Don't stop long enough to hear the disconnection
Em
We were never meant to move like this
Stand up for anything and be dismissed
Oh, we don’t want it real, we keep it trivial
Objectified sex keeps us playing the field
Chorus

We want the cure, not a medication

We’re gonna deal with it now
