We used to know a place
Where we were shielded from disgrace
In a World which made decisions
Away from the media
But that's all gone
Yes that’s all gone

So now we are all free
No longer hidden by the vale
We can touch the pain of war
Or fear an inner city crime
And it's okay
It's okay
Is it okay?
Is it okay?
Is it okay?

And how differently they’ll grow
When we leave them like this
When all information's there
And we leave them like this
And maybe it becomes undone
When we leave them like this
Or maybe it makes them strong
When we leave them like this
And all these scenes of destruction uploaded for free
Available for everyone to see

So, what will it be?

Do we want to show them
All our cruelty now or wait 'til they're ready?
And do we feel safe with the knowledge
That they already know exactly how bad it can be?

We watch the explosions
But they don't even leave a mark
'Cuz we are desensitised
