[Verse 1]
I spied the government today
They seemed inclined to make us pay
After one hundred broken treaties and accords
They could not blame us for our pain
[Verse 2]
And if 1,000 die tonight
No one could say just who was right
Statistics tend to lie
But they don't mean too much
And I would not trust those
That use 'em as a crutch
For all the innocents that get murdered in the fray
We cried 3,000 miles away
[Verse 3]
We found the remains of a corpse
Investigate to seek the source
And, in old pictures, you seem happier, at least
And your last witness saw you go with some police
I wish you here again to hold our nervous hearts
But that just wasn't in the cards
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And if 10,000 die tonight
I hope that they put up a decent fight
For every innocent that gets
Murdered in the fray
We'll fight 3,000 miles away
Away, away, away
[Outro]

L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
L-I-V-E against brutality!
