I see the children across the sea Left on the shore like trash and debris I hear a nation sigh relieved But it doesn’t have to be Doesn’t have to be this way Shattering windows Flashing lights Bullets tear the dark skin of night The sound of mothers swearing at the skies It doesn’t have to be Doesn’t have to be this way Doesn’t to have to be It doesn’t to have be this way Oh you… A little lower A little lower than the angels There’s a little piece of heaven in you Oh you… The power you've been given Is the power you should live in The world is the shape that we choose I hear the beast delcare his lies See all people with flags held high I see the world descend in fire But it doesn’t have to be Doesn’t have to be this way It doesn’t have to be Doesn’t have to be this way It doesn’t have to be Doesn’t have to be this way

We're not livin' in your fantasy Your Daffy Duck and your Bugs Bunny Wearin' clothes that we cannot see You never gonna put your mark me Calling fire down from the sky You want for us to think you reign on high Abusive power from a fallen star We know exactly who you are Wake up We are not fooled We're not impressed We're not distracted by no emptiness We won't be worshipping your wickedness We won't be walkin' with the marchin' dead Are you not blind? Are you not deaf? The prophet told you but took his head Tried to warn you but can't accept Your world is gonna' die a painful death Wake up You gonna' wash to the sea one day One day your tower gonna' fall You gonna' crawl on your knees someday You gonna' eat the lawn, Babylon! Wake up
