State Sponsored Violence

There has to be an end 
To state sponsored violence
Coz we’ve got terrorists
Speaking from the silence
So that it’s one for the other
Kill a man, though you’re his brother
And I’m not naming names
I’m just pointing out
That we can’t keep singing
The song of doubt
Coz what does it achieve
To lie to ourselves
Sending the world
Into a slow kind of hell
Where it revolves
Around the sun
Screaming, screaming
I am the one
But if you’re one with what is
Then how can you take what’s his
And turn upside down what once was even
Which side you’re on is who you’re believing
And it’s been going on
Since people had clubs
See how the mother lion
Minds her cubs
And protects what she has
But what are you walking as
And are we destined to decay
Fight to be the last to stay
When all we do is hurt our home
Does the parapet stand alone
Or is it a furore
Do you want less or do you want more
Coz we can make heaven here
Life I love to be so dear
