Lyrics
“Kids in the Park” The kids in the park, hiding bombs in the yard; Camouflaged by their scars, held together by their song; No law is just, in a land no god could trust; We raised our voice; We're stripped of choice - And armed our kids with loaded toys; On tongues, we're poised to fire; White noise And propaganda; Frightened by our freedoms, put a target on their reason; 'Cause we're forced t' wear a mark; And do our talkin' with machine guns - We call For action; Reaction; We shout; From rooftops; You can't stop - A war without a fight; You weren't there t' carry me on; I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done; You weren't there t' unload the guns - Where was god, when heaven was burned? Where were you? The kids line the streets, strike a rhythm with their feet; Disillusioned by the sound, rising up from the underground; Clap your hands and stomp your boots and - Grab your camera and tell the news; With three sides to a story - It's time t' tell the cops to tell the truth; Like cannons; Our hearts; Are pounding; For a war - While sirens are sounding - They silence out the victims, strike a chord and sell a number; Now, we're forced to turn a cheek; And face a world they stole and conquered - We call For action; Reaction - We shout; From rooftops; You can't stop - A war without a fight; You weren't there t' carry me on; I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done; You weren't there t' unload the guns - Where was god, when heaven was burned? Where were you? Fallin' down, face the sky, who was left to wonder why? We lost it all, we've lost it; My son, I told you, everything you'd have t' do - To save yourself from their cruel intentions – Fallin' down, face the sky, who was left to wonder why? We lost it all, we've lost it; We've lost it; Karma strikes; Your TV - Hate ignites Our city - Karma strikes; Your TV - Hate ignites Our city - You weren't there t' carry me on; I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done; You weren't there t' unload the guns - Where was god, when heaven was burned? Where were you? You weren't there t' carry me on; I screamed to the sky, but nothing was done; You weren't there t' unload the guns - Where was god, when heaven was burned? Where were you? Yeah! We are war - We are one...
