Handmade Hard Times Handed Back Lyrics - Midwestern Songs Of The Americas - Dillinger Four

I was just kid when I gound out how cruel the world could be 

Faded pictures from forgotten times of endless misery 

I lit a candle but i could not know why 

We didn't talk about it anymore, the page already turned 

Of all the things they had tried to teach 

Indifference is what I learned 

"Light a candle and you have done all you can" 

Well I've watched as blind eyes turned away again 

And seen iron wrought convictions as they've bent 

Want to believe that it's not on your hands 

So easy to pretend there's someone else who gives a damn 

So easy, but so hard to forget 

You can change the channel but it doesn't change the end 

It looks like business as usual again 

Drowned in your culture of "peace" 

You turn your back to the "beast" 

It's so easy to do 

So easy.
