I believe
that we’ve come to a standstill.
With a simple lack of motivation
we turned this oasis into a landfill.
We need a little bit of inspiration
and a will to keep on churning,
because our body water is drying up
and the Sun just keeps on burning.
Our World will keep on turning
when we’re not around,
when this unforgiving Desert
finally takes us down.
We need to March to the beat
of a different Sound,
because these battle drums,
they keep beating us down
into the ground.
So, now it would seem
that we’ve come to a misunderstanding,
when a Peoples’ existence
means so much less than
the products that they’re demanding.
Think about the amount of oil
we use to send our war machines to toil
in long abused Nations,
rain Hellfire damnation,
just to bring back more oil.
The spoils of war
will never outweigh the cost.
Into the fire,
our innocence is lost.
We need to March to the beat
of a different Sound,
because these battle drums,
they keep beating us down
into the ground.
So, now it would seem
that we’ve come to a misunderstanding,
when a Peoples’ existence
means so much less than
the products that they’re demanding.
Think about the amount of oil
we use to send our young Men and Women to toil
in far off lands,
to get blood on their hands,
or be returned to the soil.
The spoils of war
will never outweigh the cost.
Into the fire,
our innocence is lost.
We need to March to the beat
of a different Sound,
because these battle drums,
they keep beating us down
into the ground.
Don’t let the battle drums beat you down,
get to Marching to that different Sound.
Let your footfall hit the ground
with a, “Left. Right. One. Two.”
