lyrics

It's only a close call if nobody's looking. Don't ask, don't tell. Don't cross the line, I'm begging you. It's open fire on those who say it's wrong. Take each other's hands and don't ask me. We'll build a human wall of our beliefs. We'll come together, let's stand together, and show them we have weapons too, but no one's dying. We can fight war too, but no one has to die. Living in a country who's lost sight of everything, forget talking let's pull the trigger. We'll take em over, we'll take em all out. Take a step back and see how you could be wrong. I'm only one, but together we are many. Standing strong, saying it's not, no it's not the only way. We can fight with open mouths, and open minds, not open fire. Come on let's take a shot and try to see it through someone else's eyes. I'm afraid to say that we still use words, like us and they. Segregation, divided nation. I'm ashamed to say that we still use words like us and they. Segregation, divided nation. Tell me now how far have we really come.
