World Wide Suicide

I felt the earth on Monday

It moved beneath my feet

In the form of a morning paper

Laid out for me to see

Saw his face in a corner picture

I recognized the name

Could not stop staring at the

Face I'd never see again

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when a war has taken over?

It's the same every day I heard my name

What can be saved and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

Medals on a wooden mantle

Next to a handsome face

That the president took for granted

Writing checks the whole world pays

And in all the madness

Thought becomes numb and naive

Too much to talk about and

Nothing for to say

It's the same every day

And the wave won't break

Tell you to pray while

The devil's on his shoulder

Laying claim to the take

That our soldiers save

Does not equate, and

The truth's already out there

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

Looking in the eyes of the fallen

You've got to know there's another

Another, another, another, another

Way

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when the war has taken over

It's the same every day and the wave won't break

Tell you to pray while the devil's on his shoulder

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide

The whole world

World over

It's a world wide suicide
