lyrics

It's the murder of a culture
Chained down for the vultures
But we turn a swollen I
To this evil axis spinnin
While we concentrate on winnin
And as we sleep, another thousand die
But oh what does it take to make us see
It's an emergency?

Callin for help, but nobody's listenin (nobody knows)
And they die, crawlin through hell but nobody's listenin, nobody knows

We can't justify another sanctioned genocide
But we never seem to learn
That this killing is faster
Than a natural disaster
Until we're the next to burn
But oh what does it take to make us see
It's an emergency?

What if everyone you ever loved was ripped away
From their beds in the darkness
And you couldn't stop it
What could you say?
If someone shot the future and buried yesterday
Wouldn't you care about them?
Could you live without them?
Is there any way?
