Body Count feat. David Gilmour – Comfortably Numb (Official Music Video) ► Pre-Order the new album “Merciless“, out on November 22nd, here: ► Stream “Comfortably Numb“ here: “For me “Comfortably Numb“ is an introspective song—it's me acknowledging that I'm older now. I'm telling the younger generation, you've got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up. It's me trying to make sense of what's happening, but also pointing out that we're all in a place where we don’t have to face reality. We've got flat-screen TVs and popcorn, and we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like it’s a TV show. It doesn’t feel real until it shows up at your door. I’m a little numb, too—we all are.” - Ice-T on the track. Video directed by Jay Scorsese ► Merch and more: -- ► Lyrics: How did I get here? Sitting on this spinning sphere When will I leave here We know death is always near I try to understand but answers don’t come easily Friends always deceiving me Is this what life’s supposed to be? Human animals We roam the earth in search of blood Hope for humanity? I don’t think there ever was We’re in perpetual war and that’s the only law Can I change it? I doubt it So I write songs about it I was young once but now I’ve grown old Right in front of your eyes you’ve seen my life unfold I had no choice as I became the underdog’s voice A young black kid… look what the f**k I did! When I’m gone there’ll be someone to carry on We can give in, give up, or we can stay strong How accepting of the bulls**t we’ve all become This whole world is… comfortably numb Hello… is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? You’ve got a TV, a computer, so you don’t care A roof, some clothes, some food That’s right, it’s all there Lock yourself in your house, try to forget about The millions dyin’ from wars, starvation and drought You’ve got your own problems – yes, we all do Nobody is free from stress, not him or me or you But still we judge each other, we want to pick a fight In the streets we kill each other, each and every weeknight I don’t want no drama but I carry a gun I don’t want no problems but they’ll probably come So we get high to wash away the pain Self-medication, but that shit is all done in vain We think that we can hide away from the misery You can close your eyes but still can plainly see There’s nowhere to run… You’re just comfortably numb Hello… is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? Hello… is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? I spent half my life just trying to survive And the other half trying to keep you all alive For some reason I still care I’ve done my dirt It’s amazing that I’m still here There’s true EVIL out there, I’ve been trying to warn you You could meet the Devil himself, then what you gonna do? No time to pray, no chance to run Listen… ‘cause I’ve been on both sides of the gun As you stand before me we’re all here as ONE We gotta come together or our chances are none Maybe I’m just a dreamer, too many obstacles The thought of humans coexisting, that’s impossible Better to stay numb, live in denial We’re all going to hell and we did it to ourselves Too much religious beef, too much racist s**t And if there is a God we probably make him sick Hello… is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? Hello… is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? ► Follow Body Count: @bodycountband -- #BodyCount #Merciless #ComfortablyNumb #CenturyMedia
