I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, how long must we sing this song How long, how long
'Cause tonight We can be as one tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead-end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart
