|
This is a modern war |
|
Walk on eggshells |
|
The cracks are showing |
|
Under colour of the truth |
|
Fuel the fire |
|
Fan the flame |
|
Silvery tongue |
|
Don't you speak in our name |
|
This is modern war |
|
Under the veil |
|
Cast a chill across the sky |
|
And twist the Lion's tail |
|
Fuel the fire |
|
Fan the flame |
|
Who do you think that you are |
|
Kidding all the same? |
|
CHORUS: |
|
We don't wanna live that script again |
|
So open up your eyes (The World's Gone Crazy) |
|
The angels weep and as we sleep |
|
The world is going crazy (The World's Gone Crazy) |
|
And if , the wheels of fate have set their date |
|
We stand and wait (The World's Gone Crazy) |
|
An eye for an eye and we'll all go blind |
|
The world is going crazy (The World's Gone Crazy) |
|
There are smart bombs |
|
But dumb men |
|
Sell us down the river |
|
Say it's us versus them |
|
But we fall asleep |
|
Beneath the same spangled stars |
|
And share the same sky |
|
And we bear the same scars |
|
Somebody's daughter |
|
Somebody's son |
|
And a million tears |
|
For a war that can't be won |
|
Then you open the floodgates |
|
By evening the score |
|
With every death each one of us |
|
Just dies a little more |
