Lyrics

[Intro]
So I'm not sure what event triggered this next song, but
There've been so many since
[Verse 1]
How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
[Verse 2]
Hide my face in my hands
Shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence
Is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
This is what we've seen
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
[Bridge]
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
[Bridge]
Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
[Verse 3]
How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Yeah, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
[Chorus]
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Yeah
[Outro]
Thank you
