Black and white movies from the 40's
Schools with no $$
Starvation/Aids in Africa
a huge military budget
Bombs for babies
look at the choices we make
close your eyes now
there's still time to walk away
now i look in her eyes
and suddenly everything feels like
sundays and movie screens
fading days
lighting away from this place
now our lives torn into pieces
look for treasures they tell you
i can hear words coming from their mouths
voices sins
i want to follow but i just cannot go your way
and how can you be here
you look an awful lot like me
but your choice is not clear
buy this take that
then everything will be alright
you can own everything under the sunlight
that is just what they will say
oh now where does this lead us
where are all these lost picture show
all of the magical things that we've lost
things that we've found out
things that it cost but i don't have the money today
bombs for babies
where would you be without
all these children looking at you
what do you have
and what will you tell them when they are asking direction
and i don't know how i forgive you for what i've seen
and i don't know how i forgive you for what you've been
i don't know how i even can go on today
how long now
sing me another song
i'll be trying to hum along
if you'll just show me the way to be
oh how long now
sing us another song
i'll keep trying to hum along
if you'll just show me the way to be
oh how long?
