Lyrics
This political stance
perpetuates rage
You see a colony with an island to rape
On the battle field
it's a war of games
Taking your time to leave as the children waste away
What is the meaning
when we know the truth
Test your investment, take home the loot
Buy off the rich keep your power there
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
To the top of Mount Carmello
They've taken back the land
The camp for Justice and Peace shows the world how to take a stand
Cutting fences, faulty arrests
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
Children calling and the sky is falling
Tears in my heart I will pray
Tear down the walls - let them fall
We have a voice - this is our home
Getting scared in classrooms
as bombs take their tests
We're sick of the children breathing in the air of death
You're in the zoo we're in the engine room
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
Children calling and the sky is falling
Tears in my heart I will pray
Tear down the walls - let them fall
We have a voice - this is our home
This political stance
perpetuates rage
You see a colony with an island to rape
On the battle field
it's a war of games
Taking your time to leave as the children waste away
What is the meaning
when we know the truth
Test your investment, take home the loot
Buy off the rich keep your power there
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
To the top of Mount Carmello
They've taken back the land
The camp for Justice and Peace shows the world how to take a stand
Cutting fences, faulty arrests
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
Children calling and the sky is falling
Tears in my heart I will pray
Tear down the walls - let them fall
We have a voice - this is our home
Getting scared in classrooms
as bombs take their tests
We're sick of the children breathing in the air of death
You're in the zoo we're in the engine room
Yea, we're drowning in your wake
What will it take for you to see our pain?
Children calling and the sky is falling
Tears in my heart I will pray
Tear down the walls - let them fall
We have a voice - this is our home
