This is a modern war Walk on eggshells The cracks are showing Under colour of the truth Fuel the fire Fan the flame Silvery tongue Don't you speak in our name This is modern war Under the veil Cast a chill across the sky And twist the Lion's tail Fuel the fire Fan the flame Who do you think that you are Kidding all the same?
[Chorus:] We don't wanna live that script again So open up your eyes (The World's Gone Crazy) The angels weep and as we sleep The world is going crazy (The World's Gone Crazy) And if , the wheels of fate have set their date We stand and wait (The World's Gone Crazy) An eye for an eye and we'll all go blind The world is going crazy (The World's Gone Crazy)
There are smart bombs But dumb men Sell us down the river Say it's us versus them But we fall asleep Beneath the same spangled stars And share the same sky And we bear the same scars Somebody's daughter Somebody's son And a million tears For a war that can't be won Then you open the floodgates By evening the score With every death each one of us Just dies a little more
