Everyday a battle is fought

Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot

Everyday a lesson is taught

Real estates important and human life is not

Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands

Such a crucial piece of earth

Take a look again its a fucking piece of dirt

Can anyone show me whats wrong with this picture?

Something definitely looks out of place to me

Its clearly out of focus somebody broke us

But heres where the joke is nobody provoked us

Were broken and no ones to blame but us ourselves and we

We cant agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared

But what are we fighting for

Something thats nothing that we can afford

We glory ourselves in our past the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air

We fly our flags at half mast

Its hard to take pride in young wasted lives

Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos

Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps

Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights

Picture this a world where theres no need to write songs like this

Can anyone out there help fix this picture

Who can make the world a better place to be

Weve got one chance lets take it the worlds what we make it

If were going to change it we cant be complacent

The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
