Not Now, Not Here

Until some terrible things happen
we do not care
But when it is us who are caught
we shout and blare:
Not now! Not here! Not me!
hardship, keep out off here!
until some serious things happen
we just go on
we think we remain unscathed
we just go on
until too shocking a thing happens
we just can't fail
"Don't take me, take anyone but me"!
we're going to wail then
Not now! Not here! Not me!
hardship, keep out off here!
on thin ice we dare a careless dance
we don't know when the thin walls break
we don't know what behind them waits
we don't know how to stay unscathed
but we do know that we'd better be awake
