Tell me, leaders of the world, how do you think mother earth
Intend to keep up with mankind,
When all we do is to tear her down? With false ideals of what is right
You justify an act of war We should have known!

Fight for land, glory or gold, religion, freedom, race or oil
Yeah what's your favourite choice of war?
It doesn't matter if you fight for peace
Or if you fight against oppression
If you kill a child, you kill a child!

How did we come to be so wrong?
We forget how to feel when we neglect what we choose not to see
Just another man or a threat to our peace
Blindfolded eyes decide what to believe

Tell me, leaders of the world, what will you do about global warmth
Will your ignorance cool you down?
You fight to stand above the rest,
Cuz you don't count if you're second best
When we're all gone what's left to prove?

How did we come to be so wrong?
We forget how to feel when we neglect what we choose not to see
Temperature rise, glaciers retreat
Blindfolded eyes decide what to believe

Can we save us from ourselves?

Long before this came to be a sad chapter of history
We were struggling on as one
In the dust of what was here there's nothing left except our fears
Our extermination has begun

How did we come to be so wrong?
We forget how to feel when we neglect what we choose not to see
Just another man or a threat to our peace
Blindfolded eyes decide what to believe

We should have known!
