I live on this rock Where the grass don't grow And I'm not proud of this world we've made Talk is cheap well I ought to know Still it's a part of you and me And we're the only ones who can Make it change
Many have tried In many ways Soldiers' graves All I see are longer rows of crosses on the So do what you have to Love and understanding are the best answers And when it's all been said
I've heard yet I've heard yet What's the cost of our pride Tell me what's the price of our achievements When our obvious brutality Is lost before our eyes So we choke down the pills Many have tried So you don't have to bother Trading one hypnotic state for another
In many ways All I see are longer rows of crosses on the Soldiers' graves So do what you have to And when it's all been said Love and understanding are the best answers I've heard yet I've heard yet
