DISTRACTION

Lyrics By: Susan Nagle

Verse 1
In this world today, who can we trust?
One says it's gold, the next says it's rust
They’ve got us clashing, toe to toe
While spinning up a brand-new show

Chorus
Look this way—no, don't look
Change the course, detour, swerve
Turn around, keep pressing on
Think it through, now let it go

Hurry up then slow it down
Signals clash from every town
What's the sound? Just static ground
Distraction… distraction…

Verse 2
Where are the heroes we used to praise?
Back when hard work earned the raise
Now it’s followships, not fellowship
Kissing rings while morals slip

(Repeat Chorus)
Look this way—no, don't look
Change the course, detour, swerve
Turn around, keep pressing on
Think it through, now let it go

Hurry up then slow it down
Signals clash from every town
What's the sound? Just static ground
Distraction… distraction…

Verse 3
They forget what life’s mirror shows
You reap exactly what you sow
I await the day that Karma lays
These noisy fools in their own maze

(Final Chorus – tweaked for impact)

Look this way—then take a stand
Choose the truth, not sleight of hand
Break the loop, rewrite the plan
Distraction… no more distraction…
