Jails And Bombs Lyrics - Last Days At The Lodge - Amos Lee

The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation 

Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation 

Now all I seem to see is all this war and goin' amongst our nation 

What good will it do? 

Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation 

Forever reading on and on from Genesis to Revelation 

But never stopping for a second to examine the situation 

After all that we've been through 

And will it only end 

When there's nothing left to defend? 

Will we ever see, yeah 

A common bond of humanity? 

I get a landscape of famine and also of frustration 

With children walking 'round without the proper means to education 

And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all of this legislation 

For jails and bombs 

So anybody out there hear my prayer 

Anybody out there hear my prayer 

Anybody out there hear my prayer 

We need all of you'll back and down here 

We need all of you'll back and down here 

We need all of you'll back and down here
