The drought lives on in minds that starve
As children grab their guns and line up to die like dogs
And our hollow headlines, oh, they just prove to warn
Yeah, column in the Times read today
"If you're not confused then you're not well informed"

You don't need to see something to know it needs to change
It must be easy to believe in nothing
Turn around and walk away

This silence echoes, the joke is never grasped
God's a comedian, playing to an audience too scared to laugh
The facts are AWOL on every paper's page
Every war's exactly the same
And the differences are all in the names

You don't need to see something to know it needs to change
It must be easy to believe in nothing
Turn around and walk away

No one ever wins it's over when it begins
Something that you can't escape
Oh no

Is there really time for this?
Are there any songs worth singing?
I go back and forth with this
And leave it for another day
I leave it for another day
I leave it for another day

You don't need to see
You don't need to see something
Oh, no
