"Living With War" lyrics

"Living With War"

I'm living with war every day
I'm living with war in my heart every day
I'm living with war right now

And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man
And on the flat-screen, we kill and we're killed again
And when the night falls, I pray for peace
Try to remember peace

I join the multitudes, I raise my hand in peace
I never bow to the laws of the thought police
I take a holy vow to never kill again
To never kill again

I'm living with war in my heart
I'm living with war in my heart, in my mind
I'm living with war right now

Don't take no tidal wave, don't take no mass grave
Don't take no smoking gun to show how the west was won
But when the curtain falls, I pray for peace
Try to remember peace

In the crowded streets, in the big hotels
In the mosques and the doors of the old museum
I take a holy vow to never kill again
Try to remember peace

The rocket's red glare
Bombs bursting in air
Give proof through the night
That our flag is still there

I'm living with war every day
I'm living with war in my heart every day
I'm living with war right now

I'm living with war right now
I'm living with war in my heart every day
I'm living with war right now
