I heard there was a terrible scene on the t.v screen tonight,
|
Thousands of innocent people were running for their lives,
|
And just who do you think is to blame?
|
It¡¯s the man who runs your country and he does it in your name
|
But he would never put his own ass on the front line, no
|
'Cause he feels he¡¯s too important to risk his own life,
|
So they¡¯ll use you and they¡¯ll tell you that you¡¯re brave
|
But when you gonna see that you are just their slave. And,
|
|
It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I
|
It¡¯s about you and I , 'cause this world we live in, it¡¯s not right
|
|
And the soldiers they have all gone to war,
|
Said they don¡¯t even know what they¡¯re fighting for,
|
And surely it cant be that hard to survive
|
Yeah they¡¯d be grateful to their gods if they made it back alive
|
They¡¯re wantin' to feel home again,
|
Remembering times with their family and friends
|
And they would never kill their own sons no,
|
But they¡¯re quite happy to kill another mans though
|
And,
|
|
It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I
|
It¡¯s about you and I , 'cause this world we live in, it¡¯s not
|
right oh no, you must feel the same,
|
how can we be so small and cause so much pain
|
|
I got so many thoughts and I could list them / but they go so fast
|
that you¡¯ve missed them / why didn¡¯t you listen / or at least lock
|
eyes with me and I¡¯ll show you I¡¯ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve /
|
I don¡¯t hide underneath, what¡¯d be the point / sit low in my seat? /
|
well that just ain't like me / I¡¯m here to play / a soldier of the new day/
|
I¡¯m not afraid or ashamed to take away the slave chains / so lets get
|
serious / it makes me fuckin' furious / they take away our freedom and
|
we¡¯re not even curious / so wake up / get your make up and shake up /
|
and if you¡¯re not feelin' nervous then you will once you¡¯ve heard this:/
|
We¡®ve gotta go out and save the day / said We have gotta go out and
|
stop the pain / we¡¯ve gotta be wise and promise to change the minds/
|
of all the evil decisions coming from high positions / you cant just listen /
|
to every law in this system / or abide by every wrong that they¡¯ve named
|
right / Ah huh / Our voices are getting stronger everyday / every step we
|
take forward is a step they¡¯ll back away! Is a step they¡¯ll back away Is
|
a step they¡¯ll back away.
|
|
After its all quiet and still, see I know the people can and I sure hope
|
the people will / Rise up greater than ever before despite their awful
|
past and despite this awful war / And how did it become that we could
|
let this be? Only seeing what those polytricksta¡¯s wanted us to see?
|
I can only hope to see them on the street one day,
|
'Cause I¡¯d point my finger at them and I¡¯d scream shame!!!!
|
|
It¡¯s about you and I, It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I It¡¯s about you and I ,
|
It¡¯s about you and I, It¡¯s about you and I,
|
It¡¯s about you and I, It¡¯s about you and I ,
|
'cause this world we live in, it¡¯s not right .
