Blood Diamonds
You rewrite the pages of all that went down
We can't state the facts
'Cause that's not allowed
Can't feed the hungry with all of your lies
Drugs are your weapon in this genocide
You've taken the lion's share of their pride
So we'll caste our votes for only your side
Losing their rights, I'm losing my mind
Can't break the chains you've tied on so tight
All the lies they're telling you
Straight to your face
You believe it all
There's no place for the truth
In this game of black hearts
They're watching you fall
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
It's all for the taking, so quick in your act
Stealing the clothes right off of their backs
I couldn't help but forget the truth
Just like it was told in yesterday's news
All the lies they're telling you
Straight to your face
You believe it all
There's no place for the truth
In this game of black hearts
They're watching you fall
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
Your opium wars, and fake nationhood
Blood diamonds - they just look so good
Post-Partition-Stress-Disorder
Bodies divided at your border
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
We can't state the facts
'Cause that's not allowed
Can't feed the hungry with all of your lies
Drugs are your weapon in this genocide
You've taken the lion's share of their pride
So we'll caste our votes for only your side
Losing their rights, I'm losing my mind
Can't break the chains you've tied on so tight
All the lies they're telling you
Straight to your face
You believe it all
There's no place for the truth
In this game of black hearts
They're watching you fall
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
It's all for the taking, so quick in your act
Stealing the clothes right off of their backs
I couldn't help but forget the truth
Just like it was told in yesterday's news
All the lies they're telling you
Straight to your face
You believe it all
There's no place for the truth
In this game of black hearts
They're watching you fall
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
Your opium wars, and fake nationhood
Blood diamonds - they just look so good
Post-Partition-Stress-Disorder
Bodies divided at your border
I'm ready to believe
All is not lost, and someday, they will see
It's not enough for me
Drag you down, and keep you from your dreams
