Little Things (That Keep Us Together)

[Verse 1]
It's on days like these when your brother falls
You can read it all in the Times
And a moving car stole a movie star
Little things that keep us together
While the war's going on

[Verse 2]
It's on days like these when your childhood cries
You can see it all on the news
Little children starve growing tired of born
Little things that keep us all close and warm
While the war's going on

[Verse 3]
Find a place you can hide and take what you can
The time will arrive when you need a friend
Stop looking at us, we're waving good-bye
There's a man shouting he's with me
When that morning comes I can't wait to see
Just how high his eagle on color screens
Is gonna fly, going to fly

[Verse 4]
It's on nights like these that your neighbor dies
'Cause he put a gun to his head
He was so alone, he had nothing left
Little things that call for a drink
That bury a soldier's death

[Verse 5]
It's on days like these when your sister cries
And your brother falls from your hands
Jumbo jets can die, killing 81
Little things that help us get by the why
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war is going on
Why the war is going on
