| I read the morning paper, someone had just died
|
| In big bold letters so it comes as no surprise
|
| I’m looking at a story 'bout violence
|
| A word from a lawyer in his defence
|
| This time we got the jury by the throat
|
| I turn the television on to get away
|
| A quick reminder that we have to swallow every word they say
|
| Learned another lesson in history
|
| Written like a murder and mystery
|
| To me it’s just another way of disguising the past
|
| Fear is not the way to make it work and be as one
|
| It’s too late the damage has been done
|
| So fly your flag and make your statements, hold on to your pride
|
| And live your life for others that have died
|
| This is the end of what we know, where do we go?
|
| Don’t look for solace in some shallow ignorant late night talk show
|
| Think about your problems every now and then
|
| Discover that we’re limited in the end
|
| Sometimes you’ve got to close your eyes start thinking for yourself |
