[00:30.28]so I stab the beast belly while the vulture snoars
[00:32.84]yo loe let it blow with convulsive force
[00:35.52]til walls fall off their false supports
[00:37.55]til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course
[00:40.22]and all brave young Americans are called ashore
[00:43.15]cause we've already lost the war we keep waging
[00:45.76]splattering the streets in battles that keep raging
[00:48.25]bloodying each page of the story that we're studying
[00:50.84]each day the same just the names keep changing
[00:53.44]saying the same things over again
[00:55.90]repeating the same slogans we don't know where we've been
[00:58.36]We've been all over the globe on our government's funds
[01:00.81]leaving man woman and child dead bloody and numb
[01:03.31]saying the same things over again
[01:05.98]repeating the same slogans we don't know where we've been

[01:33.56]as long as you help with mine
[01:35.80]the process of healing will take some time
[01:38.16]to see the pain on your face is the same as mine
[01:41.09]not a game or a race but the stake is high
[01:43.57]we maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides
[01:46.19]as long as it takes I"ll say it one more time
[01:48.76]as long as it takes I'll say it one more time
[01:51.36]as long as it takes I'll say it one more time
