Joseph Thompson - Torn Down Poster for a Missing Dog Lyrics

Saw a torn down poster for a missing dog
Things don't get to me that much, but this got to me a lot
But then I question why, this plagued my mind, when we see bad news all the time
Is there something wrong with me?
Go online, and read the fake news, don't know which side to believe and I don't know how to choose
When both sides have opposites points to find and multiple sources to prove them right
And you wonder why I can't see?

We're all connected
Yet so disconnected
I feel pathetic
I can write a text but don't have a message
Am I skeptical?
Or do I just not care at all?
Time online take it's toll
In a world of headlines we just learn to scroll
Pick what you care about
Make sure to voice it loud
You're altruistic now
Occupied the moral high ground, no one can kick you out
It's so important
To stave off the boredom
With the oxymoron
Of cute videos overlayed on an article about torture
I want to get out of my head
Lay here I wanna die in bed
I think I'll check my phone instead
My cry for helps been left on read
Bring up my mental health
Cos I'm not doing well
Not feeling very swell
With a two year wait before I get some help

Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better, better, oh
Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better
Take the pills make it better, better, oh

If we cause all the problems
How can we learn to solve them
Progress Will never blossom
If we don't learn to talk about it
Why are we so dismissive?
Of other perspectives
Common ground is hard to find
Like the missing dog with the torn down sign

What do I know
My opinion's not my own
I'm just a culmination
Of my favourite bands and my TV shows
Got too much spare time
So occupy it right
By going online
Finding pointless things to be offended by
Cultural appropriation
The drug of a nation
Force fed some information
To make you forget about your situation
Cos we're all so divided
With out minds already divided
There's only one side that's right
The world's not grey it's black and white
What happened to a proper debate
About the war on drugs and the hostile state
Being overweight, being out of place, being underpaid, damaged and not too great
I'm not saying there's not problems cos there is
And I don't want to know your business
But how can we ever fix it
If we don't learn to talk about it

There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better, better, oh
There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better
There's no pill to make it better, better, oh

If we cause all the problems
How can we learn to solve them
Progress Will never blossom
If we don't learn to talk about it
Why are we so dismissive?
Of other perspectives
Common ground is hard to find
Like the missing dog with the torn down sign
