"Ceasefire" lyrics

Gorgeous gowns, elegant creatures
Crawling around the Garden of Eden
Who were you wearing? How are you sleeping?
Do all the drugs stop you from grieving?
I would expect nothing less from District 1
The taste of blood must have a nice flavor when the odds are in your favor

Ooh, the flashing lights
Ooh, light up the sky
Ooh, ooh, now is the time
Everyone's quiet
Won't someone tell me why?

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?

All the lies and all of the papers
Paint a nice picture but do us no favors
Fire is catching while you're attacking
Innocent children, how is this happening?
I would expect nothing less from those like you
What it must feel to be stone-hearted
No remorse for the souls discarded

Ooh, the flashing lights
Ooh, light up the sky
Ooh, ooh, now is our time
Everyone's quiet
Won't someone tell me why?

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?

We burn
You burn
We burn
You burn

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?

No tongues, but we still scream
Ceasefire, are you listening?
Can you hear the violence?
Do the cannons cut through silence, oh?
