Lyrics
VERSE 1:
It's fought in the paper and on the TV, but it's not in the headlines or the words that we read.
It's fought in the airwaves and the news that we see, but it's not in the grammies or favorite internet feeds.
Like a boat with no paddle, we're swept along. We don't believe there is danger as we float through the calm.
We drift through life unaware of the darkness that is lurking there.
CHORUS:
We find ourselves in This Unknown War. We don't see who our enemies are!
It slowly seeps into our minds, and quietly rages in our hearts.
We find ourselves in This Unknown War. The battle-lines are so clearly drawn.
It slowly seeps into our hearts----
VERSE 2:
He doesn't care if we're happy, he doesn't care if we're sad as long as he sees that someone's been had.
He doesn't care if we win, he doesn't care if we lose, as long as he sees that our fighting won't end.
He doesn't care who's right, he doesn't care who's wrong as long as he sees that we won't get along.
He doesn't care if we're rich or poor, he'll be there to slam our door!
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
I don't speak of war between our fellow men. It's the hate and division the deceiver sends. Like a dog on the prowl he leaves his mark, then he uses his lies to tear us apart.
CHORUS
