Taken for a ride.
|
I know I said I'd rescue you, but their troops had taken hold.
|
At last you're not alone in that city,
|
Am I safer, here in the cold?
|
These bombs and bullets at night, you wear like jewelry.
|
That seems to be the difference, between you and me.
|
Let's hope it's not a grave
|
|
No war is worth it, without you.
|
No point in living without you.
|
I know you feel the way I do.
|
It's not a real world without you.
|
Let's hope it's not a grave
|
|
I heard some friends got taken for a ride,
|
a one way journey, everybody died.
|
It's not unusual, many go that way.
|
Their numbers mounting every single day,
|
But what can I do but hope you're still alive.
|
This is what happens when opposites collide,
|
public, and private, arbitrary death,
|
'cause war is power, and power is business.
|
|
We are but numbers, statistics on a sheet.
|
This is what happens whenever humans meet.
|
No need for fingers, we know who to blame.
|
Intolerance will end and start this game.
|
I write this letter while taken for a ride.
|
Maybe I'll see you on the other side,
|
Let's hope it's not a grave.
|
Two fingers crossed, hope it's not a grave.
|
|
But what can I do, but hope you're still alive.
|
This is what happens when opposites collide.
|
Public and private, arbitrary death,
|
'cause war is power, and power business.
|
These bombs and bullets at night, you wear like jewelry.
|
That seems to be the difference between you and me..
|
Hope it's not a grave......
