This is what is left of war
Hatred and death
And these are all your men
They're better left unsaid
And we're your army now
We're outraged, turn around
And love's in high demand
But we build peace on quicksand

And you're foolish for a wiseman
And you're clueless for a genius
Hopelessness is your trademark
Is what you will be remembered for
So we're taking back our world

He says
Give us all you have or our guns will drive you mad, mad
And listen to them now
Your soldiers (they're burned out)
They're burned out, they're burned out
And love's in high demand
But we build peace on quicksand

And you're foolish for a wiseman
And you're clueless for a genius
Hopelessness is your trademark
Is what you will be remembered for
So we're taking back our-
We're almost there, we've almost made it
The finish line is in sight
We're so close now I can almost taste it
But hidden in the back of your mind
You got a plan and with just one hand
You'll destroy what would have been just fine

That's why you're foolish for a wiseman
That's why you're clueless for a genius
Hopelessness is your trademark
Is what you will be remembered for
So we're taking back our world
We're taking back our world
Oh, whoa
