The big boys, with their big toys and they’re shooting up the world They’re looking for a theatre which happens to be close to you You are part of the performance, you are part of the script And the scary thing is, there’s nothing you can do These big boys, these bully boys, will take away your homes They have no real compassion despite their twisted rhetoric They’ll squeeze you and they’ll choke you If you show an ounce of dissent They’ll burn you and they’ll torture you All in the name of peace Question, question, who drew the random lines in the sand? Question, question, who divided this sacred land? Friend become foe and fragile alliances crumble All hell breaks loose, the power struggles begin They tell us this, they tell that, it’s all a pack of lies Greed is rife, life is cheap so many more lies Lies, lies, lies, lies Lies, lies, lies, lies Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies They tell us this, they tell that, it’s all a pack of lies Greed is rife, life is cheap so many more will die Die, die, die, die Die, die, die, die Die, die, die, die, die Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why so many lies? Lies, lies, lies, lies Lies, lies, lies, lies Why so many lies? I like to think I'm full of love But I'm no dove and I’ll fight if I have to The big boys and their big toys Tearing the world apart The big boys and their big toys And this could just be the start So many wasted resources So much wasted time So much pointless posturing So many needless war crimes We reap what we sow Meddling with the status quo Will we never learn? Helpless, as our precious world burns, burns, burns Bickering, blaming, shouting, flaming Question, question Who drew the random lines in the sand? Question, question Who divided this sacred land? How about you show some humanitarian traits? For once in your power crazed lives So many wasted resources So much wasted time So much pointless posturing So many needless war crimes All you self-righteous, megalomaniacs you will all be damned And your dark empires will never last
