Fahrenheit 911

Mr. President, i just heard the news
was glued to my t.v set
sights and sound so familiar to me
it wasn't the blood that made me cry
not the broken bones, oh no not this time
ive been de-sensitised
it was the crying, the screaming, the waling

sitting ever so comfortabley, popcorn in hand
never did know, or did understand
i couldn't possibly
it turns out im ignorant
i'm ignorant like everyone else,
but it doesn't take much brains to know
to realise when to stop

the sights and sounds of death are universal
we all bleed when we are gunned down
we all cry when we loose a loved one
we all watch out for our own
we are after all one race

war was never an answer, never a a solution
but there wasn't a problem to begin with
it's all politics as i have come to understand
you're all boys with toys
little angry boys with reaaaaaallly big toys
but i don't like being stuck
stuck in the middle of these childrens games

Mr. president, just heard the news
there are no winners, we both loose
wish there was a way to take it all back
