Lyrics
0:07Woke up before the morning sun
0:09I found it tucked beneath the hills
0:11I sat and watched it rise
0:13It hit the sky and burst to flames
0:15The lotus flower's
0:16Got me thinking bout the way we live
0:19I've got this feeling
0:21It's gonna stop
0:22Driven by religion
0:24Running backwards down a one way road
0:26A course collision split decision
0:27Tryin' to save your soul
0:30Manifest Destiny
0:30Is just a fancy word for murder
0:33I've got this feeling
0:35It's gonna stop
0:38A billion faces running round my head
0:41All got opinions but the don't mean shit
0:44Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead
0:48They said it's all been done and it's all been said
0:53They'll turn this message into a pop movement
0:55A fasion statement call it politics
1:01You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it
1:03They say it's all been done
1:08Look outside the box my friend
1:10You heart's been dead since who knows when
1:12It seems we've missed the mark
1:13Lost all hope and given in
1:16Pack up the suitcase
1:17Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
1:19The fear that drives you
1:22Needs to be stopped
1:23A billion faces running round my head
1:27All got opinions but the don't mean shit
1:31Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead
1:34They said it's all been done and it's all been said
1:39They'll turn this message into a pop movement
1:43A fasion statement call it politics
1:44You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it
1:49They say it's all been done
1:54Fell into a daze
1:55And found my mind was gone and laid to waste
1:58A battle ground indeed
1:59Where holy wars have taken place
2:02I saw the sun set watched it travel down
2:04And tear you through the ground
2:05The hate the drives us
2:07Needs to be stopped
Woke up before the morning sun I found it tucked beneath the hills I sat and watched it rise It hit the sky and burst to flames The lotus flower's Got me thinking bout the way we live I've got this feeling It's gonna stop Driven by religion Running backwards down a one way road A course collision split decision Tryin' to save your soul Manifest Destiny Is just a fancy word for murder I've got this feeling It's gonna stop A billion faces running round my head All got opinions but the don't mean shit Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead They said it's all been done and it's all been said They'll turn this message into a pop movement A fasion statement call it politics You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it They say it's all been done Look outside the box my friend You heart's been dead since who knows when It seems we've missed the mark Lost all hope and given in Pack up the suitcase Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin The fear that drives you Needs to be stopped A billion faces running round my head All got opinions but the don't mean shit Keep droppin' bombs untill the whole world's dead They said it's all been done and it's all been said They'll turn this message into a pop movement A fasion statement call it politics You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it They say it's all been done Fell into a daze And found my mind was gone and laid to waste A battle ground indeed Where holy wars have taken place I saw the sun set watched it travel down And tear you through the ground The hate the drives us Needs to be stopped
