Pruitt says, “’Look the Other Way’ deals with the ongoing issue of complacency and how we all play a role in it. I wanted to confront that complacency head on, both culturally and within myself. We have two choices when we witness evil being done, we can look the other way… or we can ask ourselves ‘what we can do to stop it?’”

Lyrics:
They bulldozed over the memories
To build apartments with amenities
And left the low income families
Broke on the outskirts of town

Might be the change on surface that bothers me
Or the underlying lack of humanity
Might be a little of everything
But I never can quite pin it down

Chorus:
And I get pissed
when people tell me “that’s the way it is”
As if that’s all that they know how to say
When you walk past
Do you even have to stop and ask?
Or are have you learned to look the other way?

The devil’s wearing a suit and tie
Swearing on the Bible there’s a twitch in his eye
I guess every crooks got an alibi
as long as they got money to blow

Cause every last dollar goes to feed the machine
So they can keep on selling the American dream
While our TV dinners and photoshopped screens just keep on killing us slow

Chorus:
And I get pissed
when people tell me “that’s the way it is”
Feels like that’s all they know how to say
It’s so sad
Your giving up what little power you have
All because you’d rather look the other way

The headlines are bleeding red
With the name of a man that I’ve never met
Cuffed on the street with a knee on his neck
And tears spilling out of his eyes

Are we heartless or are we numb?
changing the channel on the television
Telling ourselves we’re not the ones
& refusing to apologize

I get pissed
When people tell me that’s the way it is
When there is so much more that we could say
If you walked past
knowing that breath might be his last
Would you still have looked the other way?
