lyrics

The big boys, with their big toys and they’re shooting up the world
They’re looking for a theatre which happens to be close to you
You are part of the performance, you are part of the script
And the scary thing is, there’s nothing you can do

These big boys, these bully boys, will take away your homes
They have no real compassion despite their twisted rhetoric
They’ll squeeze you and they’ll choke you if you show an ounce of dissent
They’ll burn you and they’ll torture you all in the name of peace

Question, question, who drew the random lines in the sand?
Question, question, who divided this sacred land?
Friend become foe and fragile alliances crumble
All hell breaks loose, the power struggles begin

They tell us this, they tell that, it’s all a pack of lies
Greed is rife, life is cheap so many more lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies

They tell us this, they tell that, it’s all a pack of lies
Greed is rife, life is cheap so many more will die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die, die

Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why so many lies?

Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Why so many lies?

I like to think I’m full of love but I’m no dove and I’ll fight if I have to

The big boys and their big toys, tearing the world apart
The big boys and their big toys and this could just be the start

So many wasted resources
So much wasted time
So much pointless posturing
So many needless war crimes

We reap what we sow
Meddling with the status quo
Will we never learn?
Helpless, as our precious world burns, burns, burns….

Bickering, blaming, shouting, flaming

Question, question, who drew the random lines in the sand?
Question, question, who divided this sacred land?

How about you show some humanitarian traits?
For once in your power crazed lives

So many wasted resources
So much wasted time
So much pointless posturing
So many needless war crimes

All you self-righteous, megalomaniacs you will all be damned
And your dark empires will never last
