All this time has whittled away,
Like so many days in one,
Back and forth the leaders sway,
Backing it up with guns…
[Bridge:]
Superpowers flex their wings,
Hold the world on puppet strings,
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed,
That's always the way it goes.
[Chorus:]
When will the world listen to reason?
I've a feeling it'll be a long time.
When will the truth come in to season?
I've a feeling it'll be a long time,
I've a feeling it'll be a long time…
All they want is what they can defend,
Before their time is up,
Make the same mistakes again,
Heard it all before…
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Well if they tried maybe they'd see,
It'd do a little good
To let the world be free,
Handshake and a smile
Gets you on through,
Then turn it all around
With a suicide move
But you know it's not,
Fooling anyone but me,
You gotta make yourself see
What you want to see…
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
