Halfway Round The World

What am I to believe

Of what I've seen on my T.V.

Of all the killing going on

Somewhere halfway round the world

They speak of cold deciet

And of the death put on the breeze

By the man we sold the weapons to

He kills with such great ease

And I find it all to easy

To point a finger, take a stand

It's not my fault it was their job

To liberate that foreign land

But looking at the photographs

Of mothers fallen down

While mourning over infants

Buried deep in bloody ground

I feel I failed humanity

I never raised my voice

I sat comfortably inside my home

I never made a choice

To tell the world they're people

Moms and Dads with boys and girls

But Hey, What could I have done

I'm only one man and I'm halfway round the world

As we celebrate our soldiers

Coming home from months in sand

They're wearing shiny white dress gloves

To hide those blood stained hands

And though they say we've won that war

A skeptic I'll remain

To shed anothers blood for oil

Is to bring us all to shame

And thier ad campaigns were oh so slick

They filled us with our pride

Americans are lucky

Cause we were on the winning side

But looking at the photographs

Of mothers fallen down

While mourning over infants

Buried deep in bloody ground

I feel I failed humanity

I never raised my voice

I sat comfortably inside my home

I never made a choice

To tell the world they're people

Moms and Dads with boys and girls

But Hey, What could I have done

I'm only one man and I'm halfway round the world
