They're Dying

Forwarded from a friend via email, loosely based on U2’s "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

(1st Chorus)
They’re dying, we’re dying, both sides crying
And the end seems very near

Terror smiling, leaders lying, times are trying
And the answer isn’t clear

The TV news shows it all to us
A bloody face, an exploding bus

Orphaned children and no one cares
Pain and hatred are everywhere

Making enemies out of next door friends
How will we ever start over again?

Aren’t we lucky? The future’s arrived!
But I’m not betting that we’ll survive

(2nd Chorus)
Towers falling, how galling, wake-up calling
And they all ask you to give

Revelations, confrontation, “Battle Stations”
Now we don’t have long to live

We kill each other because we can
Not very fair but it’s our oldest plan

Day after day we’re stalked by death
From mother’s womb to our final breath

We take lives that are not ours to keep
Is there no conscience? How can we sleep?

The war draws closer, I hear the guns
The bombs exploding, the beating drums!

(3rd Chorus)
Time to decide, run and hide, or pick a side
‘Cause we’re headed for the end

We’ll all pay, in a big way, on judgement day
Better hope you find a friend
