Lyrics

[00:07.88] Woke up before the morning sun
[00:09.56] I found it tucked beneath the hills
[00:11.81] I sat and watched it rise
[00:13.31] It hit the sky and burst to flames
[00:15.56] The lotus flower's
[00:16.25] Got me thinking bout the way we live
[00:19.43] I've got this feeling
[00:21.17] It's gonna stop
[00:22.79] Driven by religion
[00:24.35] Running backwards down a one way road
[00:26.72] A course collision, split decision
[00:27.91] Tryin' to save your soul
[00:30.16] Manifest Destiny
[00:30.65] Is just a fancy word for murder
[00:33.96] I've got this feeling
[00:35.96] It's gonna stop
[00:38.21] A billion faces running round my head
[00:41.64] All got opinions but the don't mean shit
[00:44.88] Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead
[00:48.88] They said it's all been done and it's all been said
[00:53.37] They'll turn this message into a pop movement
[00:55.37] A fasion statement, call it politics
[01:01.11] You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it
[01:03.91] They say it's all been done
[01:08.53] Look outside the box my friend
[01:10.15] You heart's been dead since who knows when
[01:12.40] It seems we've missed the mark
[01:13.97] Lost all hope and given in
[01:16.52] Pack up the suitcase
[01:17.77] Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
[01:19.77] The fear that drives you
[01:22.08] Needs to be stopped
[01:23.94] A billion faces running round my head
[01:27.57] All got opinions but the don't mean shit
[01:31.37] Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead
[01:34.61] They said it's all been done and it's all been said
[01:39.29] They'll turn this message into a pop movement
[01:43.10] A fasion statement, call it politics
[01:44.73] You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it
[01:49.66] They say it's all been done
[01:54.46] Fell into a daze
[01:55.46] And found my mind was gone and laid to waste
[01:58.21] A battle ground indeed
[01:59.27] Where holy wars have taken place
[02:02.07] I saw the sun set watched it travel down
[02:04.19] And tear you through the ground
[02:05.82] The hate the drives us
[02:07.31] Needs to be stopped
