Never Again

The way we watch the fires burning
Through TV screens we sit and watch
As children cry, their pained faces
Beg U.N. soldiers for sheltering spaces

Can we do anything? Are we even trying
To stop all the hated, the killing and the dying?
We look to the past for lessons learned well
And the present slips into the same hell

Remember we're told, and never forget
Do not let it happen again
The way the world just sat on the side
When millions were tortured and died

For tonight's entertainment the news anchors gleam
(Ethnic cleansing is easier if you use Mr.Clean)
Now back to the action, the rape and the dead
While ancient feuds fuel a future I dread

Remember we're told, and never forget
Do not let it happen again
The way the world just sat on the side
When millions were tortured and died

Watching bombed out bodies face down in the mud
Drawing cease-fire lines with their blood
Soldiers killing children, it is the killing season
Acting human, only humans kill without reason

While diseased rats and flea infested dogs
Blind bats and sweat-less hogs
Who know better than we, they frown at our deeds
And pray for the day when we're all fucking dead

Remember we're told, and never forget
Do not let it happen again
The way the world just sat on the side
When millions were tortured and died

Remember we're told, and never forget
Do not let it happen again
The way the world just sat on the side
When millions were tortured and died
