Behind Enemy Lines - Cycle Of Violence lyrics

It's the age-old conflict, the territorial dispute Endless accusations flying about who has wronged who Desperate determination to show no sign of weakness The leaders take action while their people pay the consequences Abandoning diplomacy, those in power unwilling to yield Playing stupid f**ing politics that just get people k**ed Deciding that all out aggression is the best way to defend so the cycle of violence starts all over again It's a bloodbath in the west bank There is no end in sight Both sides are so consumed with avenging d**h that there's no respect for life Israeli soldiers are gunning down Palestinians Murdering children for throwing stones While Hamas is recruiting children to become martyrs and murder more Israelis as suicide bombers But the biggest obscenity of all of this hateful hostility has been reducing through action and rhetoric into a subhuman enemy The dehumanization of one another has been the justification for the horrific brutality It's a bloodbath in the Gaza strip There is no end in sight Both sides are so consumed with avenging d**h that there's no respect for life How many more? How long? Who's right? Who's wrong? Are they really so bloodthirsty in their hatred for the enemy that they're willing to disregard their own peoples safety? They make their own people targets with every act of aggression All in the name of teaching the enemy a lesson Innocent people imprisoned by the violence that the conflict creates Warmongers and butchers deciding everyone's fate How will there ever be peace with such human rights abuses? When you dehumanize humans then all humanity loses It's a bloodbath in Bethlehem There is no end in sight Both sides are so consumed with avenging d**h that there's no respect for life
