Painted It White

Nobody learns, seems like everybody
Turns to the screen
To watch it pass but not to ask you
"What does it mean?"
We believed
So here we are, we're not so far
From where we could be
You've got a gun, the one
You say will keep us all free
So free that you
Can bomb a blue horizon to black
Then steal away the day
And never, never give it back
We believed
