lyrics

“Kids in the Park”

The kids in the park, hiding bombs in the yard;
Camouflaged by their scars, held together by their song;
No law is just, in a land no god could trust;
We raised our voice;
We're stripped of choice -
And armed our kids with loaded toys;
On tongues, we're poised to fire;
White noise
And propaganda;
Frightened by our freedoms, put a target on their reason;
'Cause we're forced t' wear a mark;
And do our talkin' with machine guns -

We call
For action;
Reaction;
We shout;
From rooftops;
You can't stop -
A war without a fight;

You weren't there t' carry me on;
I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done;
You weren't there t' unload the guns -
Where was god, when heaven was burned?
Where were you?

The kids line the streets, strike a rhythm with their feet;
Disillusioned by the sound, rising up from the underground;
Clap your hands and stomp your boots and -
Grab your camera and tell the news;
With three sides to a story -
It's time t' tell the cops to tell the truth;
Like cannons;
Our hearts;
Are pounding;
For a war -
While sirens are sounding -
They silence out the victims, strike a chord and sell a number;
Now, we're forced to turn a cheek;
And face a world they stole and conquered -

We call
For action;
Reaction -
We shout;
From rooftops;
You can't stop -
A war without a fight;

You weren't there t' carry me on;
I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done;
You weren't there t' unload the guns -
Where was god, when heaven was burned?
Where were you?

Fallin' down, face the sky, who was left to wonder why?
We lost it all, we've lost it;
My son, I told you, everything you'd have t' do -
To save yourself from their cruel intentions –
Fallin' down, face the sky, who was left to wonder why?
We lost it all, we've lost it;
We've lost it;

Karma strikes;
Your
TV -
Hate ignites
Our city -
Karma strikes;
Your
TV -
Hate ignites
Our city -

You weren't there t' carry me on;
I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done;
You weren't there t' unload the guns -
Where was god, when heaven was burned?
Where were you?

You weren't there t' carry me on;
I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done;
You weren't there t' unload the guns -
Where was god, when heaven was burned?
Where were you?

Yeah!

We are war -

We are one...
