Picture This -

Everyday a battle is fought

Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot

Everyday a lesson is taught

Real estate’s 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Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands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 it’s a fucking piece of dirt

Can anyone show me what’s wrong with this picture?

Something definitely looks out of place to me

It’s clearly out of focus somebody broke us

But here’s where the joke is nobody provoked us

We’re broken and no one’s to blame but us ourselves and we

We can’t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared

But what are we fighting for

Something that’s 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

It’s 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 there’s 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

We’ve got one chance let’s take it the world’s what we make it

If we’re going to change it we can’t be complacent

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