Everyday a battle is fought
|
Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
|
Everyday a lesson is taught
|
Real estate¡¯s important and human life is not
|
Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands
|
Such a crucial piece of earth
|
Take a look again it¡¯s a fucking piece of dirt
|
Can anyone show me what¡¯s wrong with this picture?
|
Something definitely looks out of place to me
|
It¡¯s clearly out of focus somebody broke us
|
But here¡¯s where the joke is nobody provoked us
|
We¡¯re broken and no one¡¯s to blame but us ourselves and we
|
We can¡¯t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
|
But what are we fighting for
|
Something that¡¯s nothing that we can afford
|
We glory ourselves in our past ¡°the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air¡±
|
We fly our flags at half mast
|
It¡¯s hard to take pride in young wasted lives
|
Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos
|
Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps
|
Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights
|
Picture this a world where there¡¯s no need to write songs like this
|
Can anyone out there help fix this picture
|
Who can make the world a better place to be
|
We¡¯ve got one chance let¡¯s take it the world¡¯s what we make it
|
If we¡¯re going to change it we can¡¯t be complacent
|
The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
|
