[Verse 1]
Which will it be sympathy or apathy?
Which part of the human condition will I believe?
Tried then it's tested and I've just decided
Tried and it's tested and I've just decided I've failed

[Chorus]
When it all came down on that Saturday night
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
Can we still say we're civilized?
Watched some kid go down

[Verse 2]
Is it the crowd or the way this is going down?
Is it being human watching without a sound?
Tried and it's tested and I just decided
Tried and it's tested and I just decided I failed

[Chorus]
When it all came down on that Saturday night
Should I choose a side at 9th at Pine?
Can we still say we're civilized?
Watched some kid go down at 9th at Pine
