War in the east
pThey say it's alright just so long as we don't bleed
But We're safe
Or so it seems
And we need lies just so we can feel better about our bad dreams
People don't seem surprised no more
and the children don't cover their ears when I say God Damn…
I say god damn
That's just the way that the world spins
Mama don't wash my mouth out with soap
cause elderlies can't even hear when I say God Damn…
I say god damn
It's just the way that the world spins
It's the little ones who look up to you so if you
Got some little ones then watch what you do
They can copy everything that they see
Everything that they see is everything they believe
That old cripple man who's waiting on the bus stop
Has got more wisdom than any of us but
We walk around with our phones to our heads
Man I'm sleeping even when I'm not lyin in bed
I've also got some problems with materials and
I think that people think they're way too important
What matters is the love that you keep
Not the diamonds on your ring or them shoes on your feet
People don't seem surprised no more
and the children don't cover their ears when I say God Damn…
I say god damn
That's just the way that the world spins
Mama don't wash my mouth out with soap
cause elderlies can't even hear when I say God Damn…
I say god damn
It's just the way that the world spins
You need love, you need to give
I can't stand it much more than this
I wanna walk right through the badness
And show you how to live…and show you how to live
They need love, you need to give,
I can't stand it much more than this,
make me wanna walk right through the badness,
and show you how to live…
Im gonna show you how to live…
