Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
|
A decade passes by it's just the calm before the storm
|
An age-old situation that it seems may never end
|
Round and round we go and round and round we go again
|
What we see hides out in the grotto
|
What we do comes back around to follow
|
All these things, when will we see?
|
It's pouring out of the lands
|
|
In a thousand years of war
|
A thousand lives are torn
|
A thousand bullets hit the ground
|
A thousand mothers mourn
|
The glass if half empty and the barrels half full
|
The aristocracy paid by the death toll
|
And both sides still rockin' their beliefs
|
The crooked politicians and the fucked up police
|
From this worldly hell I need a release
|
I can't believe they all died for a little grease
|
|
Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
|
But history has proven that it's just the calm before the storm
|
Something's gone on for way too long and that's one thing for sure
|
A constant game of tug o' war
|
I'm asking what's it all for?
|
|
A thousand years of war
|
Can you tell me who wins a war?
|
And what's the outcome in the end?
|
It's not a fairytale ending paved with happiness and joy
|
We've got another thing coming
|
What's it for? Tells the fate of our tomorrow
|
What's the score? Another round is sure to follow
|
As for the innocent standing out in the streets
|
Take cover, it's another dead end
|
|
Lines in sand, lies and demands
|
You think you see it coming
|
Got another thing comin'
|
Take cover it's another dead end
|
|
(Round and around and around we go)
|
Pandemonium, confusion, hysteria, when's it going to end?
|
Stop all the fighting and stop all the war
|
Stop all the fighting it's kind of hard to ignore
|
Stop all the fighting can't you see its dead end?
|
Can you see its dead end?
|
