lyrics

Why do we seek appoval desperately; take ourselves to seriously; wanting all the time.
And why do we scratch the face so lightly; lick the palm so dirty; never look behind of what we buy.

Why can't we all just get along; can't we all just be friend; can't we focus on good things.
And why can't we let peace ring in all we believe in as sure as the dove sings.

So easily forced to forget the source of our cheap and endless supply. The quality the makers can't afford to buy. Now alienate the worker from their culture; alienate the conscience from the war.

Ignore the blood of centuries on our hands.
Too sick to see the legacy on our hands.
Expect to get away with it on your hands, and like before say never again all over again.

Why can't we keep a projection of a solid predictions of a global affliction.
And what about the children and they're children and what we will leave them.

The deal has been done for the innocent ones whos seeds are yet to be sown.
We've fired the gun to run them to the bone.
And how can they be proud, in our ambitions they are bound.
Our spirits following them into the ground.

Ignore the blood of centuries on your hands.
Too sick to see the legacy on your hands.
Expect to get away with it on your hands, and like before say never again all over again.

When is it our turn to lie destitute, with nothing between our bellies and the sky.
Space and time are ambivalent to the moment of a man who in his luxury forgets to ask why.
