stepped up to the podium to prove
it's not the colour it's the attitude
that keeps peace from you to me
can i ask ya...
can i relate with you?
can you relate with me?
i don't know
but it seems like the question at hand
was banned and we focused on bullshit
hey man, what you doin' ain't solvin' a thing
we must be willing to change
it's time to make a change
it's time to make a u-turn
why, why, this lack of understanding?
tell me: are we headed for the big dead end
can't we see that we're apart of one another
can't we find this common sense
light of my eyes burns to grey
as the controversy swallows you
and the sky looks down with sympathy
as we throw our lives away
live by the gun, you die by the gun
well doesn't that come with just being young
these days...
live by the gun, you die by the gun
well doesn't that come with just being young
i don't think so
light of my eyes burns to grey
as the controversy swallows you
and the sky looks down with sympathy
as we throw our lives away
turn that shit around!
it's time to make a u-turn
it's time to make a change
are we behind the times
if we don't want to pack the nine
well the picture fits the frame
but we refuse to read the sign
so many point and blame
put the finger at somebody else
well i stepped up to the podium
to point the finger at ourselves
light of my eyes burns to grey
as the controversy swallows you
and the sky looks down with sympathy
as we throw our lives away
where the hell's the fucking sympathy
where the hell's the common sense...
