they bomb your cities

they bomb your towns

& the government won't speak a sound

they terrorize our streets

and our homes

and the government still leaves

them alone

[Chorus]

blood shed-on the streets

blood shed-won't let us breathe [x2]

when will it ever stop

politicians are home

their children are safe

they have nothing to lose

or that's at stake

they make us shake the hand

of the enemy that shed blood

shed blood on our fathers and

our sons

[Chorus]

what can i do? what will it take?

to stop the fear that they create

they make us fight eachother

our loyalty our love

the blood shed on our mothers

when will it ever stop

we don't want to fight

and we don't want to be

the ones who live in fear

for all eternity

when will justice take it's course

and when will god see

that i don't want to live my life

with darkness upon me

[Chorus]
