Empty Words Lyrics

Straighten Things Out Empty Words

When will this mess ever up?
How long again will they have to bear the load
of your insolent vanity?
Will we someday take off this blindfold,
and finally dare to open our eyes on
the outbreak of oppression
and for years has been going on
2,000 miles away from here?

Our western government pretend to care,
and only satisfy with their hopeless peace process

Sidewalks have turned to cemeteries
without a single grave to rest in peace.
What's left of the light of hope
that has been driving us?
It flickers out and dwindles as
we get bogged down in this shitty situation,
we watch it slowly going out...

Hey Mr Sharon look at what you've done,
and all these kids throwing stones
to your tanks that pulled down
the schoolyards they used to play in,
they'd better be in...

When will it end?
All our prayers misplaced...
Religions turn people into pawns
fighting in the name of God,
but only lightening the way to an illusory freedom.
