" In my livin' room watchin' but I am not laughin' 'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen The world is cold, the bold men take action Have to react to get blown into fractions

10 years old is somethin' to see Another kid my age drugged under a jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought, "The next one could be me"

Do you see the soldiers that are out today That brush the dust from bulletproof vests away? It's ironic, at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show

My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back he hand wrote a quote inside "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stutterin and mumblin' for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watchin' at the end of the day Both scared and angry like, "What did he say?" "
