98 Mute - Picture This

Everyday a battle is fought
Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
Everyday a lesson is taught
Real estate�s important and human life is not
Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands
Such a crucial piece of earth
Take a look again it�s a fucking piece of dirt
Can anyone show me what�s wrong with this picture?
Something definitely looks out of place to me
It�s clearly out of focus somebody broke us
But here�s where the joke is nobody provoked us
We�re broken and no one�s to blame but us ourselves and we
We can�t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
But what are we fighting for
Something that�s nothing that we can afford
We glory ourselves in our past �the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air�
We fly our flags at half mast
It�s hard to take pride in young wasted lives
Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos
Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps
Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights
Picture this a world where there�s no need to write songs like this
Can anyone out there help fix this picture
Who can make the world a better place to be
We�ve got one chance let�s take it the world�s what we make it
If we�re going to change it we can�t be complacent
The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
