Empty Words

There's blood on their hands
That they can't defend
And a bleak desperation in the hearts of the grieving

They did their best
It's un precedented
They payed off their friends
And they told us to take it on the chin

A final breath and a nurses sigh
With no way to hold them
Don't blame those who believed the lies
Blame the ones who told them

And I don't wanna hear it anymore
This is not a Third World War
Empty words and shattered dreams
This is exactly what it seams

There's blood on our hands
As we fight each other
With historical plights and personal failures

We can't do this
If we're not together
You can't win the war
If you don't know the enemy

So I don't wanna be in the middle of us and them
Or a boring fractional mess
All the holy water in the land
Couldn't wash their hands of this

I don't wanna hear it anymore
This is not a Third World War
Empty words and shattered dreams
This is exactly what it seems

Aren't you embarrassed of that great big wall
Where you write your rules and push more friends away
Aren't you embarrassed of that flag by now
As it flys in front of the help that never came
Aren't you ashamed

I don't wanna hear it anymore
This is not a Third World War
Empty words and shattered dreams
This is exactly what it seems
Poison from the hand that feeds
This is exactly what it seems
Another leader not fit to lead
This exactly what it seems
Empty words and shattered dreams
This is exactly what it seems
