Under Fire

People running in the street
Concrete burning under feet
The sky is blue, the sun is hot
Another gun, another shot
A bloody hand, a bloody face
God please save this bloody place
Bodies laying here and there
Does the world really care?
Does it really care?
Does it care?

Listen to the people, ouch, ouch, ouch
Listen to the fist, punch, punch, punch
Listen to the foot, kick, kick, kick
Listen to the feet, run, run, run
Listen to the people, ouch, ouch, ouch
Listen to the stick, crack, crack, crack
Listen to the gun, bang, bang, bang
Listen to the people, help, help, help, help
help, help, help, help, help, help, help

The flying dove it sees no joy
Only a burning, broken toy
A mother clutches baby tight
While men shoot bullets through the night
Missiles flying in the air
A sorrow look, a stone cold stare
As clear blue waves crash on the sand
Blood crawls fast across the land
Fast across the land
Across the land.

Ouch, punch, kick, run
Ouch, crack, band, help
Ouch, punch, kick, run

Help, help, help, help, help, help, help!

There's no endemic war at hand
For war is war, there is no plan
And in the end a roll of dice
Which human souls will pay the price
His story says that time will heal
But meanwhile evil claws will steal
The lifeblood of the human race
The innocent look on a child's face
Look on a child's face
A child's face.
