I read the morning paper, someone had just died
|
In big bold letters so it comes as no surprise
|
Im looking at a story 'bout violence,
|
a word from a lawyer in his defense
|
this time we got the jury by the throat
|
|
I turn the television on to get away
|
a quick reminder that we have to
|
swallow every word they say
|
learned another lesson in history,
|
written like a murder and mystery
|
to me it's just another way
|
of disguising the past
|
|
Fear is not the way to make it work and be as one
|
it's too late the damage has been done
|
so fly your flag and make your statments,
|
hold on to your pride
|
and live your life for others that have died
|
|
This is the end of what we know,
|
Where do we go?
|
don't look for solace in some shallow
|
ignorant late night talk show
|
think about your problems every now and then
|
discover that we're limited in the end
|
sometimes you've got to close your eyes
|
start thinking for yourself
|
