Well, it's another fine day of nation-building
Let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And you know it's begun from the beat of the drum
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day

It's a damn good day for the heart and the mind
And the party's happening here
If you'll avert your gaze from the word on the sign
Let me whisper it in your ear:
'Cause the sign says "Run"
'Cause the sign says "Run"
'Cause the sign says "Run"
'Cause the sign says "Run"

And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding

And we want peace
Yeah, we want peace
Well, we don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror!
We don't negotiate with terror!
We don't negotiate with terror!
We only watch them beg
And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding
