Sow the future reap the past Lyrics

Feeling helpless

Will you listen to me

Even if we disagree

Will I listen to you

Can I consider your point of view

Never have I felt so powerless

And Ineffective

Surely there's something we can do

Oh the irony

Is it enough to justify it

Oh the hypocrisy

Is it enough to justify it

A preventable tragedy

Is it enough to justify it

Continue to stand by

Genocide

Same old situation

Yields the same result

Sow the future, only to reap the past

A generation gone in a flash

Extremely uncomfortable

With our relation with another

Extremely uncomfortable

Funding and supplying arms

How best to effect change

And support your ally

As a tax paying nation

Our hands are dirty

As more and more die

Oh the irony

Is it enough to justify it

Oh the hypocrisy

Is it enough to justify it

A preventable tragedy

Is it enough to justify it

Continue to stand by

Genocide

Growing up

Visiting museums and reading books

I thought surely in our lifetime

Knowing about past atrocities

We'd be much more capable & better equipped

Not to repeat the past

And yet here we are
