FROM THE MAGIC OF OUR BIRTH
FORGETTING WHERE WE CAME FROM
FORGETTING WHAT WE’RE WORTH
RUNNING ROUND IN CIRCLES
OF MONEY FAME AND POWER
DYING JUST TO GET AHEAD
IN WHAT MAY BE OUR FINAL HOUR
WE ARE STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND
FIRST YOUR SON, NOW YOUR DAUGHTER
BRAINWASHED INTO SERVICE
WE’LL ADD THEM TO THE SLAUGHTER
AND AS WE CRY WE’LL JUSTIFY
FOR WAR IS NEVER ENDING
OUR LIVES ARE LIVED IN MISERY
OUR PEACE IS JUST PRETENDING
WE ARE STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND
BUT IT’S ONE WE HAVE CREATED
BUILT UPON THE DREAMS OF THOSE
WHO NEVER WILL BE SATED
AND WE ARE FAR TOO WILLING
TO PICK UP GUNS AND FIGHT
MARCHING LIKE TIN SOLDIERS
WHO HAVE NOT YET FOUND THE LIGHT…
WHAT WE ARE IS HISTORY
REPEATING ALL THE MADNESS
THINKS OF JUST “WHO” WE COULD BE
IF WE ENDED ALL THE SADNESS……………
THINK OF JUST “WHO WE COULD BE”
…..IF WE ENDED ALL THE SADNESS!!!
