Lyrics

[00:01.94]
[00:08.09] Saw the news in the afternoon
[00:09.84] 'Nother war will be coming soon
[00:12.03] Man ripped up like a piece of paper
[00:14.11] With his wife looking on and no one to help her
[00:20.19] Hammill says we're still in the dark ages
[00:22.20] With people's greed and hating rages
[00:24.15] The world don't learn so the world will burn
[00:26.24] The world will burn cause the world won't learn
[00:28.31] The world don't learn so the world will burn
[00:30.41] The world will burn cause the world won't learn
[00:34.39] Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again
[00:38.49] Such a messed up world we're living in today
[00:44.01] Thank God for the rain
[00:46.67] maybe it'll wash that scum away
[01:00.90] Streets ain't safe in this town no more
[01:02.90] A girl get hassled at her front door
[01:04.70] Violence rising out of hand
[01:06.60] Can't bring the kids up in this land
[01:12.82] Getting mugged on your way home
[01:14.75] By kids with masks and knifes they own
[01:16.91] How long will it be till they got a gun
[01:18.88] And shoot you down just like a dog for fun
[01:23.27] Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again
[01:26.99] Such a messed up world we're living in today
[01:32.54] Thank God for the rain
[01:35.31] maybe it'll wash that scum away
[01:49.29] Thought my sensitivity would be smashed
[01:51.79] by some inner city wisdom trash
[01:53.75] Instead my own phobia centricity is growing
[01:56.21] out of every bit of me
[02:01.47] I like my home I don't want to move
[02:03.52] but maybe I'll be forced soon
[02:05.72] To lock the doors and board up the windows
[02:07.61] To lock the doors and board up the windows
[02:09.49] To lock the doors and board up the windows
[02:11.49] To lock the doors and board up the windows
[02:15.30] Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again
[02:20.10] Such a messed up world we're living in today
[02:24.94] Thank God for the rain
[02:27.45] maybe it'll wash that scum away
[02:41.65] People die and nature replaces
[02:44.01] You see the lives in all the faces
[02:45.82] Of so-called lunatics and basket cases
[02:48.07] Who'd hang themselves with their shoe laces
[02:54.04] They have no place in the rat race
[02:56.16] As a society which just misplaces
[02:57.83] Puts more importance on money not faces
[03:00.24] And have its sleeves filled with all the aces
[03:08.49] Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again
[03:12.73] Such a messed up world we're living in today
[03:16.77] Thank God for the rain
[03:20.46] maybe it'll wash that scum away
[03:25.98]
