Woke before the mornig sun
|
I found it tucked beneath the hills
|
I sat and watched it rise
|
It hit the sky and burst to flames
|
The lotus flower's
|
Got me thinkin' 'bout the way that we live
|
I've got this feelin'
|
It's gonna stop
|
|
Driven by religion
|
Running backwards down a one way road
|
A course collision, split decision
|
Tryin' to save your soul
|
Manifest Destiny
|
Is just a fancy word for murder
|
I've got this feelin'
|
It's gonna stop
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
A billion faces runnin' round my head
|
All got opinions but they don't mean shit
|
Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead
|
They said it's all been done and it's all been said
|
They'll turn this message into a pop movement
|
A fashion statement, call it politics
|
You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
|
They say it's all been done
|
|
Look outside the box my friend
|
Your heart's been dead since who knows when
|
It seems we've missed the mark
|
Lost all hope and given in
|
Pack up the suitcase
|
Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
|
The fear that drives you
|
Needs to be stopped
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Fell into a daze
|
And found my mind was gone and laid to waste
|
A battleground indeed
|
Where holy wars have taken place
|
I saw the sun set watched it travel down
|
And tear through the ground
|
The hate that drives us
|
Needs to be stopped
|
