I read the morning paper, someone had 

just died 

in big bold letters so it comes as 

no surprise 

I'm looking at a story bout violence, a 

work from a lawyer in his defense 

this time we got the jury by the throat 



I turn the television on to get away 

a quick reminder that we have to follow 

every word they say 

learned another lesson in history written 

like a murder and mystery 

to me it's just another way of disguising 

the past 



Fear is not the way to make it work and 

be as one 

it's too late the damage has been done 

so fly your flag and make your 

statements, hold on to your pride 

and live your life for others that 

have died 



This is the end of what we know, where 

do we go? 

don't look for solace in some shallow 

ignorant late night talk show 

think about your problems every now 

and then 

discover that we're limited in the end 

sometimes you've got to close your eyes 

start thinking for yourself
