lyrics
Who do we blame? Woke up this morning and the world was still the same.
So we’ll carry on, it will continue, long after we have gone.
Will the whole world burn? The lesson’s never learned.
What shall we do? The fortunes of the many, directed by the few.
What can we say? The future’s in the distance, but the past is here to stay.
Can the tide be turned? The lesson’s never learned.
When we shout it from the rooftops, we’re the only ones that hear,
Amid the screaming of the innocents, the guilty close their ears.
They always need an enemy, need someone else to blame,
Your skin is the wrong colour, your beliefs are not the same.
The whole world is a battlefield, the wrong against the right
You’ve got a gun, now you’re someone, a jackal in the night.
The young ones go to battle, while the old ones sit and cheer,
Those young ones, won’t be old ones, they won’t even see next year.
And they will not return, the lesson’s never learned.
I’d like to take a minute, talk religion if I may?
Spreading like wildfire, like cancer, I just wanna say.
I think it’s anaesthetic for the populations,
Knockout drops for the generations,
Shame there ain’t no inoculation,
Religious vaccination
From the crusades through to the holy war,
What do you gain, what is it for?
We gotta stop! Killing each other, over gods and profit.
Gotta start! We gotta break the cycle, get right off it.
From the beaches of Gallipoli, to the trenches of the Somme,
You’ll always find an enemy, no matter where you’re from.
The boys who dug those trenches, never made it out the ground,
We learn nothing from our history, there’s no peace to be found.
I don’t ask you to defend me, I don’t ask you to agree,
I just want you to listen, open up your eyes and see.
And now we’re all going to hell, we’re not buying what they sell
And now we’re all going to hell, we’re not buying what they sell,
And now we’re all going to hell, we’re not buying what they sell.
