the night was hot and bleak but we weren't there
running through the streets but we weren't there
was the blood of the faceless that they call the enemy
and they k** in our name but we weren't there
and it's feels out of our reach cause we weren't there
just far enough away to obscure our reality
living in the comfort of our streets
safe from the war that we won't ever see
we will not see the bodies in the streets
blood of our loved ones under our feet
just another yellow ribbon and number on the TV screen
they hide their own casualties so we won't care
it's all planned so well so we won't care
the lesson was learned well from another time and war
so they keep it all clean and we won't care
just control what we see and we won't care
sometimes i just can't believe how far they'll go
living in the confines of our streets
safe from the war that we won't ever see
we will not see the bodies in the streets
blood of our loved ones under our feet
just another yellow ribbon and number on the TV screen
