The Middle eastern world, 
it is explodin',
Violence flarin', 
bullets loadin',
You're old enough to kill 
but not for votin',
You don't believe in war but 
what's that gun you're totin',
And even the Jordan river 
has bodies floatin',
But you tell me...

Don't you understand, 
what I'm trying to say?
And can't you feel the fears 
I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, 
there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save 
with the world in a grave,
Take a look around you, boy, 
it's bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me...

Yeah, my blood's so mad, 
feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, 
just contemplatin',
You can't twist the truth, 
it knows no regulation,
Republican Senators 
don't pass legislation,
And Black Lives Matter 
can't bring integration,
When human respect 
is disintegratin',
This whole crazy world 
is just too frustratin',
And you tell me...

Think of all the hate 
There is Red China
Then take a look around 
at Charlottesville Virginia
You may leave here for 
six months in space,
But when your return, 
It's the same old place,
The poundin' of the drums, 
The pride and disgrace,
You can bury your dead, 
but don't leave a trace,
Hate your next door neighbor, 
but don't forget to say grace,
And you tell me over...
