Ha
I saw this guy go down
Wasn't time for fear before his body hit the ground
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
Car that hit him pulled to a stop
Driver hid his bottles, he anticipated cops
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
Oh yeah
Crowd assembled to take a look at death
Shattered skull, fractured body, blacktop running red
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
And people look bored like expecting more
People look bored like expecting more
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
And sympathy is only friendship's whore, you know
And maybe we don't know who we are anymore
And another spectacle, and it's respectable
To take it lightly like another TV show
So desensitized, so dehumanized
Why stop and think when you can find someplace to go?
We're drowning
We're drowning
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
We're drowning
We're drowning
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
And it's gonna be the death of us, just you wait and see

2023 here - Imagine if Michaels wrote this little ditty when everyone had a high definition recording device in their pocket that also had the ability to share with multiple social network - all so the recorder can get a tiny bit of fame for the suffering they captured.
There is a reason that Johnny Depp bought the Viper Room and turned it into a place where young celebrities can hide from the piercing eyes of the paparazzi camera. A young musician such as Michaels, who must have taken trips from the Bay Area to LA and seen shows on the Sunset Strip, would have witnessed this abhorrent behavior firsthand. Now, we have a whole subset of celebrities that are celebrities specifically for broadcasting their private lives.
