The Bastard Suns What Have We Won lyrics

I'm fearful for our very lives,
A dark sense of foreboding,
It fills my insides, and I cannot make it die.
We put our nose where it doesn't belong.
Steal from the weak, and we give to the strong,
But someday, somewhere, someone's gonna drop the bomb.

Well, my enemy, his son,
Is lookin' for his redemption at the end of a gun.
Why can't it just be over?
Feels like it's just begun.
With the wars we wage and the lives we take,
What have we won?
It may not be in your backyard,
It may not be in your town,
But people are suffering every day,
Put the guns down.

Decisions are made every day,
And the people never get our say,
And meanwhile, we're shunned by the rest of the world,
With our debt unpaid.
There's no wondering what we do.
We bring back lies and pass them off as true.
So kiss your kids goodnight,
Try to sleep tight, this will all fall through.

Well, my enemy, his son,
Is lookin' for his redemption at the end of a gun.

Why can't it just be over?
Feels like it's just begun.
With the wars we wage and the lives we take,
What have we won?
It may not be in your backyard,
It may not be in your town,
But people are suffering every day,
Put the guns down.

I'm fearful for our very lives.
A dark sense of forbodeing,
It fills my insides, and I cannot make it die.
We put our nose where it doesn't belong,
Steal from the weak, and we give to the strong,
And someday, somewhere, someone's gonna drop the bomb.

Decisions are made every day,
And the people never get our say,
And meanwhile, we're shunned by the rest of the world,
With our debt unpaid.
There's no wondering what we do.
We bring back lies and pass them off as true.
So kiss your kids goodnight,
Try to sleep tight, this will all fall through.
This will all fall through.
