Community Slowdown

Community slowdown Slow down, take it all in Community slowdown Slow down, take it all in It's like everyone was forced To hit pause * at the same time No matter what was going on In your own life It came in hot We're still cooling Kids are on the front lines Grocers homeschooling Nothing more real Than a grown man's tears Tired of living With these constant fears It's like I can't move because I'm stuck In the middle of the strangest dream Community slowdown Slow down, take it all in Community slowdown Slow down, take it all in Nowhere to go Nobody moving Call your loved ones Ask how they're doing All these heroes They keep showing in the papers It was someone's father It was someone's neighbor Nothing more real Than a mother's tears It's like I can't move because I'm stuck In the middle of the strangest dream And all you want to do is be right I hope it benefits the whole team Take a step back, it isn't always your time to speak The microphone's hot, the world Needs someone who can save this scene Community slowdown Slow down, take it all in Community slowdown Nowhere to go Nobody moving Call your loved ones Society's lungs could use a deep breath Cause I've been seeing violence Oh, I've been reading 'bout death And it's right there on the screen (Served and protected 'til he couldn't breathe) For all our kids to see (Served and protected 'til he couldn't...) I think it's time that we examine all our differences Take a look at what has led to all these consequences It's not like kids' TV Where you can just make believe Although I really kind of wish it were Because they seem pretty happy Laughing and singing In all their beautiful, multi-colored skins Oh, tell me friend, where do we begin?
