lyrics

I've got nothing to say that will change the way that your mind works
I've got nothing to say that will change the way that this world turns
But I can hope that we will see that damage we have done
And I can hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best

Are we living in the twenty first century?
Cause it feels more like we're standing in a cemetery
Waiting to die by the hands of another man of our own kind.
What are we doing to ourselves?
We've got it better than anybody else so why
Do we have to divide and find reasons why we can torture our own kind?

I just hope that we will see the damage we have done
And I just hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best

I don't wanna see what's on the television
Cause all it's doing is filling me with reasons why
I should despise every man that's standing on the other side
And I don't like it cause it's making me angry
And if it's doing that to me, who else is it filling with hate?
In the wrong hands that could become a very bad plan

But I can hope that we will see that damage we have done
And I can hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best

Call me naive but the key to survival is surely to befriend your rivals
And eliminate the need to stand guard of your enemies
And my first instinct was to run away from this
But I have to stay if I want to make it
We need people by our side if we wanna survive the threat of this life

And that's because...
It works better together it's just common sense
We work better together so can we make amends
