Picture This

Everyday a battle is fought
Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
Everyday a lesson is taught
Real estateâ"š¬â"ž¢s important and human life is not
Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands
Such a crucial piece of earth
Take a look again itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a fucking piece of dirt
Can anyone show me whatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong with this picture?
Something definitely looks out of place to me
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s clearly out of focus somebody broke us
But hereâ"š¬â"ž¢s where the joke is nobody provoked us
Weâ"š¬â"ž¢re broken and no oneâ"š¬â"ž¢s to blame but us ourselves and we
We canâ"š¬â"ž¢t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
But what are we fighting for
Something thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s nothing that we can afford
We glory ourselves in our past â"š¬í…"the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in airâ"š¬?
We fly our flags at half mast
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s hard to take pride in young wasted lives
Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos
Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps
Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights
Picture this a world where thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s no need to write songs like this
Can anyone out there help fix this picture
Who can make the world a better place to be
Weâ"š¬â"ž¢ve got one chance letâ"š¬â"ž¢s take it the worldâ"š¬â"ž¢s what we make it
If weâ"š¬â"ž¢re going to change it we canâ"š¬â"ž¢t be complacent
The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
