To the bank to cash in a cheque
Asking you to have compassion and to have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room laughing like what did he say
New song
“Standing alone with no direction”
No, no, no!
Please, let us finish hands held high!!!
Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen
Amen
In my living room watching
But I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense,
I know what might happen
The world is cold
The bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions
Ten years old is something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought
the next one could be me
(Makes me so sad, every time )
Do you see? The soldiers they’re out today
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It’s ironic
At times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There’s bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, your clothes
My dad has got a lot of fear, I know
