The news on TV
shows scenes of war
In countries we've known as mere names on a map

We watch the faces of people too young
And clouds that hover too low
As if they were none of our business

Everywhere, people are in misery
Shall we pretend to be blissfully unaware
Everywhere, people are in misery
Of what they're going through?

If this isn't put to an end, there will come a time
When this town shall go ablaze
Because of adults' decisions

When that times comes, would you raise your fists and take up arms?
Can you crop your hair, leave your lover,
And keep on running?

Everywhere, people are in misery
Shall we pretend to be blissfully unaware
Everywhere, people are in misery
Of what they're going through?
