Hand Made Hard Times Handed Back

I was just a kid when I found out how cruel the world could be
Faded pictures of forgotten times, of endless misery
I lit a candle, but I could not know why

We didn't talk about it anymore, the page already turned
Of all the things they had tried to teach, indifference is what I learned
Light a candle and you've done all you can

Well, I've watched as blind eyes turned away again
Seen iron-wrought convictions as they've bent

Want to believe that it's not on your hands
So easy to pretend there's someone else who gives a damn
So easy, but so hard to forget

Well, I've watched as blind eyes turned away again
Seen iron-wrought convictions as they've bent

You can change the channel, but it
Doesn't change the end
It looks like
Business as usual again

Drowned in your culture of peace
You turn your back to the beast
It's so easy to do
It's so easy

Drowned in your culture of peace
You turn your back to the beast
It's so easy to do
It's so easy

Drowned in your culture of peace
You turn your back to the beast
It's so easy to do
It's so easy
