| Scales fall from my eyes
|
| I’ve been blind too long
|
| Shut myself off from the world
|
| While everything went wrong
|
| Earth groans beneath the weight
|
| Of a million war machines
|
| Preaching unrequited hate
|
| To win by any means
|
| With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul
|
| I stand in line to pay the toll
|
| A lesson in true lunacy
|
| A Scorched Earth Policy
|
| Do you only care for
|
| Me, myself and I?
|
| Are these the lies you whisper
|
| As another child dies?
|
| Earth groans beneath the weight
|
| Of a million war machines
|
| Preaching unrequited hate
|
| To win by any means
|
| With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul
|
| I stand in line to pay the toll
|
| A lesson in true lunacy
|
| A Scorched Earth Policy
|
| Your children do not know you
|
| They’re programmed full of hate
|
| Mankind has learned nothing
|
| But another way to rape
|
| Yet still you go on killing
|
| Still you do pollute
|
| Still you teach your children
|
| That the self is absolute
|
| Earth groans beneath the weight
|
| Of a million war machines
|
| Preaching unrequited hate
|
| To win by any means
|
| With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul
|
| I stand in line to pay the toll
|
| A lesson in true lunacy
|
| A Scorched Earth Policy |
