Asia - Lay Down Your Arms lyrics

We used to live in a better world Where sky and water were free We point the finger We point the gun Is that the way it should be? We rape the land And we tear the skin Burn the blood in the stone To fuel the fire of a selfish mind Do you want to live here alone? [Chorus] Lay down your arms - surrender You know you'll never get out of here Lay down your arms - remember No force - you'd better lay down your gun Such are the sins of humanity Dark is the air that we breathe A war to hide in society Don't close your eyes to deceive Too many promises Too may tears Where does the future lie If we burn away the years We can make this a better world Where sky and water are free So give the hand without the gun That's the way it will be [Chorus]
