Another Day

[Verse 1 - Chester P]
Welcome to the other side of happiness and lullabies
Where tiny mercenary eyes smolder from the gutters life
The glow of dying glory in the embers of a mothers pride
'Cause Nathan was a loving child until his older brother died
See he was sitting eating porridge when the soldiers come
To tell his aging mum she had outlived her oldest son
And now she wept they said your son had died a hero's death
They took a nervous breath both saluted turned around and left
Now Nathans heart is filled with hatred for Afghanistan
Along with every Muslim 'cause he thinks they're all the Taliban
While from a mountain home another child without a name
Is waiting for her father with some food and neither ever came
Her father died from a bullet wound a mile away
He died without a weapon while the guilty fled to hide in caves
It's just another life, sadly it's another day
That left a little girl with only martyrdom to pave her way
She grew with clerics filled with hatred as her ruling guide
And trained her in explosives for a homicidal suicide
There is no moral to a story that was bred at war
And all there is to say I'm sure at some points all been said before
It's just another life, sadly just another day
And sadder still another just the same is never far away
It's just another life and sadly just another day
And sadder still another just the same is never far away

[Hook]
We live, we die, that's life, i guess
There's war, famine, hate and death
There's them, there's us, there's you, there's me
We live, we die, we're rarely free
But love exists in strength in mind
And all good things will come with time
So raise your fists, and sing with me
I'm god, I'm strong, I'm proud, I'm free

[Verse 2 - Farma G]
Welcome to the other side of happiness and lullabies
Where people cast their sleepy eyes focused on the world outside
Overlooking power struggles that are here inside
And constantly remain in self denial as their world divides
Now Patrick visits dad at the cemetery
Who was killed as he was marching through the town of Derry
And generations of his family have also suffered
Another loss of bloody Sunday that they won't recover
All this dying for religion and its politics
Has Patrick at the bar getting drunk singing "fuck the English"
But somewhere in a London estate
Terry hates the Irish and thinks they all support the IRA
'Cause back in '92 his little sister passed away
A bomb inside a van that took her life and he can't take the pain
He wants to die and take her place but he knows he can't
So now he's filled with hate and loves to fight given any chance
And these are families from 2 different nations
Related by their grief, pain and frustrations
It's always hard to heal the wounds that were caused by war
When it's difficult to understand what we're fighting for
It's just another life, sadly just another day
And sadder still another just the same is never far away
It's just another life and sadly just another day
And sadder still another just the same is never far away

[Hook]
We live, we die, that's life, i guess

There's them, there's us, there's you, there's me
We live, we die, we're rarely free
But love exists in strength in mind
And all good things will come with time
So raise your fists and sing with me
I'm god, I'm strong, I'm proud, I'm free
