Comfort of the Sideline
Flashback, hijack
When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed
It's coming around again
Think back
Where you were at
When terror came to our country
We felt like jerks
And went to work
But turned on our TV's
Ohhhhh
Mostly we can't be bothered
It's only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it's onto, onto tomorrow
Come one, come all
They call, they claim
We all better hurry
To go to war, what for, not sure
But they're sure we should go
They draw a line
We pick a side but it's blurry
Then we watch the news
And change our views
And all it proves is that
Ohhhhh
Mostly we can't be bothered
It's only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it's onto, onto tomorrow
We send our children, send our children to the frontline
And sit on couches, making comments, reading headlines
While they're stuck in trenches getting caught between the cross fire
We're passing judgment from the comfort of the sideline
Comfort of the sideline
Comfort of the sideline
When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed
It's coming around again
Think back
Where you were at
When terror came to our country
We felt like jerks
And went to work
But turned on our TV's
Ohhhhh
Mostly we can't be bothered
It's only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it's onto, onto tomorrow
Come one, come all
They call, they claim
We all better hurry
To go to war, what for, not sure
But they're sure we should go
They draw a line
We pick a side but it's blurry
Then we watch the news
And change our views
And all it proves is that
Ohhhhh
Mostly we can't be bothered
It's only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it's onto, onto tomorrow
We send our children, send our children to the frontline
And sit on couches, making comments, reading headlines
While they're stuck in trenches getting caught between the cross fire
We're passing judgment from the comfort of the sideline
Comfort of the sideline
Comfort of the sideline
