The drought lives on
In minds that starve
As children grab their guns
And line up to die like dogs
And all our hallow headlines
Oh, they just prove to warn
A column in The Times read today,
"if you're not confused then
You're not well informed"

You don't need to see something
To know it needs a change
It must be easy to believe in nothing
Turn around and walk away

The silence echoes
The joke is never grasped
God's a comedian playing to
An audience too scared to laugh
The facts are AWOL
Oh every paper's page
Every war's exactly the same
And the differences are all in the names

You don't have to see something
To know it needs a change
Must be easy to believe in nothing
Turn around and walk away
No one ever wins, it's over when it begins
Something that you can't escape

Is there really time for this?
Are there any songs worth singing?
I go back and forth for this
And leave it for another day
