Lyrics
Picture the scene....
[Chorus]
Disfigured faces, caused by racists
Laid in tight spaces, bodies with no life traces
I wonder where this place is, so I can stay away
And never have to deal with widows and orphans pains
Disfigured faces, caused by racists
Laid in tight spaces, bodies with no life traces
I wonder where this place is, so I can stay away
And hope my fam does too, I hope, I pray
[Verse 1]
Remember the days of peace? No bomb threats or unpaid debts
No mafia killings or crime, no guns, no sweat
I hold on to memories, in hope of them returning
But it's like a lost cause, or a building thats burnin
But cant be extinguished, like my desire for peace
And maybe one day all our neighbours will learn and cease
To hating one another and then learn to love again
To eliminate enemies, but instead they gain friends
I dream of that day, but all I get are nightmares
Of constant war and crime, doesnt seem quite rare
I cant stand another day of death, lies, and deceit
And yet We're stuck in false wars, but never want to retreat
Now dark clouds shroud my vision, and I can't seem to find
A way out, an escape, a place of bliss for my mind
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
The everpresence of hate, is still raping the globe
Substitute your street credentials for an academic robe
Knowledge is a mighty tool, and no-one can steal it
A gun wound can be lethal, and no-one will heal it
We're being used as pawns, in a filthy game of chess
We express our distress, we confess, without success
We profess to impress, so damn obsessed with progress
That we forget we are blessed, and possess, potential protest
To rage against the machine, without the need for fear
Of a vicious backlash, that leaves a nation in tears
Mourning the loss of loved ones, life ended too soon
Patriotism being washed away in the monsoon
I've seen a dead man's sins turned into prosecution grins
And the fat lady sings whenever peace talks begin
Tragedy and hate dominate our fragile mind state
A clean slate is hard to find, kind of like a soul mate
And the search will continue, even deep into abyss
And the once misty shores, will now surely be missed
I look out to the ocean, hoping for some more answers
Just a glimpse of hope, in the battle against cancer
Life is controlled by law, and those lying crooked juries
A smash of the hammer, and you cant disguise your fury
Another man sent to prison, innocent of crime
And the rapist walks free, to rape again in his prime
It's sickening...
[Chorus]
[Fade Out]
