25,000 Mile Song Lyrics

In the beginning

There was just a single piece of land

But it broke apart and in it we all stood our flag

25,000 mile song

Keeps on comin' back

And still we're killin' each other over that

The black death of prayer with which some pray

And I know your wars and the haunted eggs you lay

But the child in me

Has still childish things to say

Listen

You can't own the land even if you pay

And I feel the hand me down wars with which you shout

Do the walls you build

Keep you in or keep them out

And I don't know what this one is all about

Push in a flag

So much blood shed

When you pull it out

In the beginning

There was just a single piece of land

It broke apart and in it we all stood our flag

25,000 mile song

Keeps on coming back

And still we're killin' each other over that
