The lights go out the curtain falls
prepare the spotlights for the dead
and for their tears
a close up
how does it feel
to stand aside while others die
to focus the cameras on the last
breath of their life

chorus:
And yes i ask is this ok
to satisfy curiosity
with every sense of reverence lost

Another day, another show
the artist changed and blood will flow
in any case
suffering
cameras on
we need some more red pictures for
our favourite evening program - war
we need some more

All we have to learn is to be interested in them
without sensation
show us what they need
but when they bury their children
leave them alone
