Forevermore to be unseen

His mother with tears in her eyes
|
Crying to God
|
She calls out, "Why!?!?"
|
|
She'll find her answers
|
On the face of the oppressed
|
|
I bow my head in respect
|
Of the dead
|
|
Because we're all bogged down
|
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
|
That's going to save our sinking ship
|
Because we're all bogged down
|
No there ain't no fucking S.O.S
|
That's gonna save our sinking ship (Our ship)
