Getting up everyday, same old
Eating breakfast, going to school
Mellowing in, doing as we're told
Raised up by jesters to be fools
2000 killed on their side, 10 on ours
Yet we scream at the injustice delivered
Not going to the graves who need flowers
Calling with war, so misery answered
Newspapers printed out with false ink
Truth changed to meet our needs
Just nod your head and blink
Death suffered to quench greed
Perfect portrait, matched with flawless strokes
With an oil paint set sinking deep
Only a single match can provoke
A fire to kill the shepard and save the sheep
Roar out with your fury to the atrocities
Pull out the chains which ground you
Lives to lose, but a world to reseize
Returning to peace, and a truth that's true
Pain is simply a reminder for what you're fighting for
So fight back for this world we were swore
