"Older Than Us" lyrics

If truth becomes treason
Then tyranny will be our leader
And if proof becomes mere grievance
Then the villainy will grow much deeper

And confusion will be our building blocks
Like ashes scattered by the wind

Where did it all begin?
When will it ever end?
Where did it all begin?
It's older than us, my friend
Older than us, my friend

When war is just a playground
Then our graveyards will be amusement parks
And if we're too proud to count our many scars
Then the babies, oh Lord, will be born with calloused hearts

And confusion will be our building blocks
Like ashes scattered by the wind

Where did it all begin?
When will it ever end?
Where did it all begin?
It's older than us, my friend
Older than us, my friend

Oh, and why do we let evil men
Promote their evil plans to tear apart this land?
And I will never speak again
Unless I speak of good so let us speak, my friends
'Cause the full is never told, oh-oh c'mon now

Where did it all begin?
When will it ever end?
Where did it all begin?
It's older than us, my friend
Older than us, my friend

Where did it all begin? na-na-na-na
When will it ever end? lo-lo-lo-lo
Where did it all begin? now, now
It's older than us, my friend
Older than us, my friend

It's older (Where did it all begin... when will it end...)
(Older)
It's oh-oh-older
(Older than us, my friend)
It's oh-ooh-oh-ooh-older
(Older)
It's oh-oh-older
(Older than us, my friend)

It's older than us, my friend
