I spied the government today
they seemed inclined to make us pay
after one hundred broken treaties and accords
they could not blame us for our pain
And if 1000 die tonight
no one could say just who was right
statistics tend to lie, but they don't mean too much
And I wouldn't trust those that use 'em as a crutch
for all the innocents that get murdered in the fray
we cried 3000 miles away
We found the remains of a corpse
investigate to seek the source
and in old pictures you seem happier at least
and your last witness saw you go with some police
I wish you here again to hold our nervous hearts
but that just wasn't in the cards
And if 10,000 die tonight
I hope that they put up a decent fight
for every innocent that gets murdered in the fray
we'll fight 3000 miles away
Away, away, away
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
