Muster |
All of the daddies were weathered |
All of the mommas were torn |
Still the whole village came in their finest to see |
What could possibly be born |
Out of a house divided, in a world so brutal and maimed |
But then we saw the kids and found ourselves saying |
We’re gonna make it up to you |
Every day of our life |
We’re gonna make it up |
We’re gonna get this right |
Some people held their daddy’s guns |
Me, I hung mine on the wall |
For every war, we could have won |
Without shooting them at all |
Is this the best we could muster? |
Custer or just prayers for the slain |
I wanna get this right and not the same old thing |
I wanna make this up to you |
Every day of my life |
I wanna make this up |
I wanna get this right |
Born of privilege, born of none |
Hunger, disease, it’s all a gun |
Clean your plate kid, I want you to understand |
The isolation we breed, the hunger in Yemen |
It’s your first lock down, you’re so young |
But so are the kids under the barrel bombs |
It’s the evil we helped let loose, it’s what we’ve become |
It’s all a gun, it’s all a gun |
I don’t know where we come from, what I know is that we ain’t done |
We got the river running, we got the animal cunning |
The back of a turtle, the Garden of Eden, the cosmic dust |
Why do we keep on gunning? |
I got no use for these ramparts, ivory towers or the lines in the sand |
I think enough of the time, we want the same thing |
We gonna make it up to you |
Every day of our lives |
We wanna make it up |
We wanna get this right |
