Lyrics

If putting me in a closet wasn't bad enough
Your action is to punish all of us
If taking my house wasn't good enough for you
Then you take my land and my neighbor's too

While those resolutions you simply ignore
Are staring you right in the face
People here are dying and...
... and just trying to get back to their place

I can see my brothers and sisters behind the wire
But I cannot reach them under fire
Are we back in Berlin or on the Line of Control?
War Crimes and hard times are taking their toll

While those resolutions you simply ignore
Are staring you right in the face
People here are dying and...
... and just trying to get back to their place

You put up your barrier but you don't care what it costs
We told you what it does to us and the horrors that it cause
You put up your barrier but you don't care what it costs
We told you what it does to us and the horrors...

Give me a reason not to hate you and your politics
Among the rubble and the broken bricks
Perhaps taking my life will be good enough for you
But you want the lives of my children too

While those resolutions you simply ignore
Are staring you right in the face
People here are dying and...
... and just trying to get back to their place

You put up your barrier but you don't care what it costs
We told you what it does to us and the horrors that it cause
You put up your barrier but you don't care what it costs
We told you what it does to us and the horrors...

And you have the gall to claim it for security
Evidence not free from impurity (insanity)
I don't know what I have to do to make it right
More extra judicial killings tonight

While those resolutions you simply ignore
Are staring you right in the face
People here are dying and...
... and just trying to get back to their place
While those resolutions you simply ignore
Are staring you right in the face
People here are dying and...
... and just trying to get back to their place

Among the horrors...
