Far Away From Here

There's a place around the corner
'I like to go once in a while
Where people dance, talk with friends
Where they play the music right
Yesterday a man dropped in I'd never seen before
He looked around in disbelieve, he didn't say a word

Cause where he comes from
There's violence, there is hate
Where you can't trust your neighbors
Cause if you do you might regret
He told me about another world
Another world so far away from here

Last night I watched TV
All channels full of crap
The public gets what the public wants
Make sure they won't forget
How to terrorize, how to hypnotize
What's real and what is not
No one dares to think what tomorrow will bring
When weirdo's grow strange thoughts

How can we justify we let it come this far
How can we tolerate what we know is too bizarre
That little children carry guns and people disappear
It happens all the time around
All the time, far away from here
