Picture This

Everyday a battle is fought
Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
Everyday a lesson is taught
Real estateâ? s important and human life is not
Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands
Such a crucial piece of earth
Take a look again itâ? s a fucking piece of dirt
Can anyone show me whatâ? s wrong with this picture?
Something definitely looks out of place to me
Itâ? s clearly out of focus somebody broke us
But hereâ? s where the joke is nobody provoked us
Weâ? re broken and no oneâ? s to blame but us ourselves and we
We canâ? t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
But what are we fighting for
Something thatâ? s nothing that we can afford
We glory ourselves in our past â? the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in airâ?
We fly our flags at half mast
Itâ? s hard to take pride in young wasted lives
Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos
Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps
Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights
Picture this a world where thereâ? s no need to write songs like this
Can anyone out there help fix this picture
Who can make the world a better place to be
Weâ? ve got one chance letâ? s take it the worldâ? s what we make it
If weâ? re going to change it we canâ? t be complacent
The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
