Taken for a ride I know I said I'd rescue you, but their troops had taken hold At last you're not alone in that city, Am I safer, here in the cold? These bombs and bullets at night, you wear like jewelry That seems to be the difference, between you and me Let's hope it's not a grave
No war is worth it, without you No point in living without you I know you feel the way I do It's not a real world without you Let's hope it's not a grave
I heard some friends got taken for a ride, A one way journey, everybody died It's not unusual, many go that way Their numbers mounting every single day, But what can I do but hope you're still alive This is what happens when opposites collide, Public, and private, arbitrary death, 'cause war is power, and power is business
We are but numbers, statistics on a sheet This is what happens whenever humans meet No need for fingers, we know who to blame Intolerance will end and start this game I write this letter while taken for a ride Maybe I'll see you on the other side, Let's hope it's not a grave Two fingers crossed, hope it's not a grave
But what can I do, but hope you're still alive This is what happens when opposites collide Public and private, arbitrary death, 'cause war is power, and power business These bombs and bullets at night, you wear like jewelry That seems to be the difference between you and me Hope it's not a grave
