Seen Them

Looking back in time makes me wonder
How many times must the same lightning strike
In the same place, right in our minds...
How many times must we fall for the lie
We stand and we say we want peace in our lives
But we fight and we take our sides
And politician games into our heads
And we teach our children to lie and play dead

Seen them... fighting over money
Seen them... fighting over gold
Seen them... fighting over power
Seen them... fighting for control
Politics and war war war
Go together like a horse and carriage!

We won't beg
We won't cry
We won't let them break down our smile
As the tide rises flirting with time
Immortal thoughts from mortal liars
They pay small price for big desire
Keeping the people all plugged and wired
Our eyes and our silence is bought with entertainment day and night
And we've...

Seen them... fighting over money
Seen them... fighting over gold
Seen them... fighting over power
Seen them... fighting for control
Politics and war war war
Go together like a horse and carriage!

Memories fly as the light
Reaches our stubborn eyes
There's no such fiction as real life
We see the big picture after crying dry
Love can keep peace in our minds
Love can keep us alive
And Love can keep peace in our lives
When we've seen them all all

Seen them... fighting over money
Seen them... fighting over gold
Seen them... fighting over power
Seen them... fighting for control
Seen them... fighting over money
Seen them... fighting over gold
Seen them... fighting over power
Seen them...
Loose control
Politics and war war war
Go together like a horse and carriage!
