A new millennium is christened in 2003
When tens of thousands are condemned to die
While we danced and drank fine wine
They were screaming to an empty sky

Why?

Kill my mother, kill my father
What am I left to do?
But kill your mother, kill your father
God make my aim true

Is anybody even listening?
Does anybody even care?
'Cause the beat just goes on and on
And the terror never ends

Tens of thousands were condemned to die

Shock and awe
Fallujah
Shock and awe
Terror

Is anybody listening? (Can you hear the screaming?)
Does anybody care? (Can you hear their screaming?)
Is anybody listening to the sounds of the innocent
Suffering, suffering silently? No
