This is the place they brought the towers down
and made the whole wide world weep
But there's cameras on the dying in the desert towns
and we're not losing any sleep
Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the weight of broken dreams
Nobody suffers but us
My mother knows they're holding sons and fathers there,
down in Guantanamo Bay
She says it's probably illegal but she just don't care,
as long as we can sleep safe
Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the weight of broken dreams
Nobody suffers but us
One September day, three thousand innocents died,
I know, but we can't bring them back
And while we bicker over monuments and dry our eyes,
we've laid ten thousand dead in Iraq
Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the weight of broken dreams
Nobody suffers but us
Nobody knows the trouble we seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the weight of broken dreams
Nobody suffers but us
