When you see all the world
Only in shapes of black and white
The wave is coming down on mother earth
People run away for their life is precious now
A few are dying in the name of us all

And these graves are laid out everywhere
For all of us to see and share
Oh these graves are laid out everywhere
For all of us to see and share

The news are roaring now
Dollars blinking in their eyes
People sing a song of direful rage
But soon it all is gone life is back to normal then
And oblivion is faster than it all

And these graves are laid out everywhere
For all of us to see and share
Oh these graves are laid out everywhere
For all of us to see and share

We've seen it before
Black is coming up
From where no man has ever been
We really have to learn
From all our mistakes
And need to handle our responsibility

When you see all the world
Only in shapes of black and white
The wave is coming down on mother earth
People run away for their life is precious now
A few are dying in the name of us all

And these graves are laid out everywhere
For all of us to see and share
And if we’d only learn from this
The world could be a better place
