Last Time I Checked

I watched the news this morning for the first time in ages
It's not that I'd forgotten, I just thought my time's been wasted
On propaganda, if I can I'd rather use my time
To stress that not everything's as it seems on the front line
They talk about the tragedies in the USA
Shed no light on non-English speaking countries, that's a shame
Sends a pain to my heart when the ignorance it sparks
We blame society, but where's society?
Since the last time I checked

Seems like it won't end since the last time I checked
I don't have as many friends

My black friend says "hey nigga" to his black friend
But if a white man says it to him, it'll cause offence
Offensive in the one way's offensive in the all
He tries to justify it, that's his downfall
My girlfriend says "hey bitch" to her girlfriend
But if a man says it to her, it'll cause offence
Offensive in the one way's offensive in the all
She tries to justify it, that's her downfall
Since the last time I checked

Seems like it won't end since the last time I checked
I don't have as many friends
Since the last time I checked
Seems like it won't end since the last time I checked
I don't have as many friends
I don't have as many friends
I don't have as many
I don't need as many
I don't want too many friends, no
