Jails & Bombs |
The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation; |
Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation |
Now all I seem to see is all this war, and goin' amongst our nations |
What good will it do? |
Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation; |
Forever reading on and on, from Genesis to Revelation |
Never stopping for a second to examine situations |
After all that we’ve been through |
And love it only ends |
When there’s nothing left to defend |
Will we ever see, yeah, yes |
The common bond of humanity? |
Go on… |
Get a landscape of famine and also of frustration |
And children walking round without the proper means to education |
And still up there on Capitol Hill they’re passing all this legislation |
For jails and bombs |
Still we live behind these hollow walls of lies and segregation |
People walking round without the proper means of medication |
And still up there on Capitol Hill they’re passing all this legislation |
For jails and bombs |
Anybody out there, can hear my prayer? |
Anybody out there, can hear my prayer? |
Anybody out there, can hear my prayer? |
Anybody out there, can hear my prayer? |
Anybody out there, can hear my prayer? |
