Picture This

Everyday a battle is fought
 Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
 Everyday a lesson is taught
 Real estateâ? 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 Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands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? s a fucking piece of dirt
 Can anyone show me whatâ? s wrong with this picture?
 Something definitely looks out of place to me
 Itâ? s clearly out of focus somebody broke us
 But hereâ? s where the joke is nobody provoked us
 Weâ? re broken and no oneâ? s to blame but us ourselves and we
 We canâ? t agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
 But what are we fighting for
 Something thatâ? s nothing that we can afford
 We glory ourselves in our past â? the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in airâ?
 We fly our flags at half mast
 Itâ? 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? 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? ve got one chance letâ? s take it the worldâ? s what we make it
 If weâ? re going to change it we canâ? t be complacent
 The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
