World at War (WWlll)

Woke up this morning, It’s a different day
Something’s goin’ wrong in the US of A
New York is burning, the pentagon too
Why would someone rather die than be like you?

Back in 91 I hear you say,
Baghdad was burning just the same way
Children dying, innocence takes flight
When we ever gonna learn .. two wrongs don’t make a right?
Why?  What is it for?  … Tell me?   World at war?

You’ve just got used to change, now it’s all gonna be the same
As everything turns to shit, you look for someone to blame.
When you’re in a mass grave, no-one remembers your name.
Just as though, you’ll never know.. Who’s flying the plane.

Why?  What is it for?  … Tell me?   World at war?

A pity for the victims. Get it out of your system with a gun?
No easy - out for this one. You could lose your daughters and your sons.
All the planes are grounded. All your fears are founded.
Another day of mourning. Another night of fighting all day long.

Why?  What is it for?  … Tell me?   World at war?

What you gonna do when it comes down your street?
They’ve blown off your hands, but you still might have your feet.
Better run now. Can’t you feel the heat?
Don’t you think it’s time to fly the white flag of defeat?
