More pictures on my TV
Women and children
dying in the street
Skies above them burning, people
bleeding in the heat
Graffiti slogans on city walls
Banners over markets
Governments vying for a showdown
No way THEIR flag
is going to fall
And here we are, still at it
Writing our future through the past
Carving tomorrow from a tombstone...
a legacy never built to last
And we sacrifice our children
for battered dreams of yesteryear
Some teach suicide leads to glory
To embrace death without fear
Young boys dying in foreign lands-
Is that what being free is all about?
The man in the street doesn't see the whole story
Peace and love?
Just copping out
Twisted wreckage
of a generation
Heed the message
that they send
We'll march down this road for freedom
Fight together in the end.
