lyrics

Drums and bombs and little children
Heading off to war
Wired cars and wired martyrs
Falling to the sword
What in the world has the world come to?
What has separated me from you?
What the hell are we supposed to do
When the heart has lost its way?

Holy cities, holy terror
Holding out for peace
Young men scream and babies wail
And war will never cease
As long as power is the strongest drug
As long as leaders always act so smug
As long as we bow and bend and shrug
And let hatred have its way

Chorus: I can reach another door
I can open it
We can put an end to war
But we must try, try, try, try, try
I can see another road
I can travel it
We can write a better episode
But we must try, try, try, try, try

Missiles fly and skies turn black
And nothing really changes
Burning bridges, broken bodies
Dodging darkened dangers
Helping hands of hypocrisy
Who defines what is democracy?
Why is peace now a commodity
And where is right and truth?

Try to see things in another light
In the end we’re all just the same
Try to put yourself in someone else’s hands
Then maybe you can understand,
Oh maybe we can understand
Oh maybe, oh maybe
