Lyrics
Across the world and not so far now
Over where the headlines are
There are people living just like you and I
They've got tank trains tearing up their roads
Bullets through bedroom windows
No work, no wage, no explanation why
They're told, come line up for a cannon fodder
One more lamb led to the slaughter
Ain't no room in heaven for the lot of us
For the sake of entertainment
Stick a needle in your eye
While across the way they sit and watch our bullets flying by
Learning how to need and bleed and grieve and raise a hand
Desperation like we wouldn't understand
Play by the rules and they'll stay the same
Stand and fight, you're the one to blame
Logic strains and hopes were drained
But death is never a bore
Sixty years and same old shit
You're worth his charred arena route
In puzzle out, you'll sit and shout
We're right outside your door
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Why you are drawn by jackass god
And profit margins planted on your land?
Oh little town of Bethlehem
For what it's worth
All is not well with Uncle Sam
What do we know
About innocence and condemnation?
Not a goddamn thing
And what do we care?
What do we care
'Bout where our money's going to?
Or how it all got over there?
No we can't pay for national health care
For the sake of entertainment
Stick a needle in your eye
While across the way they sit and watch our bullets flying by
Classes are in session but no one's attending
How to live and how to die
How to fight and when to cry
How to talk like you mean it
Not like you feel it
Not like you're going belly up
Shit out of luck
Vicious circles amidst that hallowed golden ground
And life goes on
