You And I

I heard there was a terrible scene on the TV screen tonight
Thousands of innocent people were running for their lives
And just who do you think is to blame?
It's the man who runs your country and he does it in your name
But he would never put his own ass on the front line, no
'Cause he feels he's too important to risk his own life
So they'll use you and they'll tell you that you're brave
But when you gonna see that you are just their slave and

It's about you and I
It's about you and I
It's about you and I
It's about you and I, cause this world we live in, it's not right

And the soldiers they have all gone to war
Said they don't even know what they're fighting for
And surely it cant be that hard to survive
Yeah they'd be grateful to their gods if they made it back alive
They're wantin to feel home again
Remembering times with their family and friends
And they would never kill their own sons no
But they're quite happy to kill another mans though
And

It's about you and I
It's about you and I
It's about you and I
It's about you and I, cause this world we live in, it's not
Right oh no, you must feel the same
How can we be so small and cause so much pain

I got so many thoughts and I could list them but they go so fast
That you've missed them why didn't you listen or at least lock
Eyes with me and I'll show you I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve
I don't hide underneath, what'd be the point sit low in my seat?
Well that just aint like me I'm here to play a soldier of the new day
I'm not afraid or ashamed to take away the slave chains so lets get
Serious it makes me fuckin furious they take away our freedom and
We're not even curious so wake up get your make up and shake up
And if you're not feelin nervous then you will once you've heard this
We've gotta go out and save the day aid We have gotta go out and
Stop the pain we've gotta be wise and promise to change the minds
Of all the evil decisions coming from high positions you cant just listen
To every law in this system or abide by every wrong that they've named
Right ah huh pur voices are getting stronger everyday every step we
Take forward is a step they'll back away! Is a step they'll back away Is
A step they'll back away

After its all quiet and still, see I know the people can and I sure hope the people will
Rise up greater than ever before despite their awful past and despite this awful war
And how did it become that we could let this be?
Only seeing what those polytricksta's wanted us to see?
I can only hope to see them on the street one day
'Cause I'd point my finger at them and I'd scream shame!

It's about you and I, It's about you and I
It's about you and I It's about you and I
It's about you and I, It's about you and I
It's about you and I, It's about you and I
'Cause this world we live in, it's not right
