lyrics
These wounds are barely old
But you keep faith in the Lord
You pull your borders close to you
And huddle round for warmth
I know things can change
But not by blaming them
You travel many nation states
But only fight for one
Lay those weapons down
'Cause we all have to live in this town
Leave those symbols back
Cause you, you can be more than that
This all has to end
If we are to begin
I don't know who you're fighting for
'Cause there's no way to win
They'd see us all burn
Don't follow where they lead
The others live two streets away
How are they the enemy?
Lay those weapons down
'Cause we all have to live in this town
Throw those emblems back
'Cause you, you can be more than a flag
But you keep faith in the Lord
You pull your borders close to you
And huddle round for warmth
I know things can change
But not by blaming them
You travel many nation states
But only fight for one
Lay those weapons down
'Cause we all have to live in this town
Leave those symbols back
Cause you, you can be more than that
This all has to end
If we are to begin
I don't know who you're fighting for
'Cause there's no way to win
They'd see us all burn
Don't follow where they lead
The others live two streets away
How are they the enemy?
Lay those weapons down
'Cause we all have to live in this town
Throw those emblems back
'Cause you, you can be more than a flag
