What We All Must Learn To Do Lyrics

The air feels dry

The clouds feel low

No motive for these crimes

No reaping what they sew

The wind smells like flames

The dirt tastes like blood

It's a new modern age

They blocked out the sun

Tanks on the street

To break up the clash

Whole cities, whole worlds

Reduce them to ash

Soldiers are stood

At every street corner

They'll kill you on sight

If they think you're a foreigner

As the rockets were dropped

You hid under a desk

You heard them go off

The beacons of death

Your head in your hands

Ears bleed at the sound

You heard the world change

From the shake in the ground

Just don't breathe the air

And don't drink the water

Do your best to ignore

The whole world getting hotter

Nearly 8,000 miles

Of sludge and of waste

One last all-out attack

On the whole human race

You never would learn

Who caused the turmoil

What your own leaders did

Out on foreign soil

They lied to us all

Like they promised they would

They ended the world

Cause they knew that they could

The last standing building

Is the old army base

The general's outside

He screams in your face

Join in the cause

Kill all your brothers

The final frontier

Rip babies from mothers

And who can blame you

It went just as they planned

They ripped out your heart

And they offered their hand
