I felt the earth on Monday It moved beneath my feet In the form of a morning paper Laid out for me to see Saw his face in a corner picture I recognized the name Could not stop staring at the Face I'd never see again It's a shame to awake in a world of pain What does it mean when A war has taken over? It's the same every day I heard my name What can be saved and Who will be left to hold her? The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide Medals on a wooden mantle Next to a handsome face That the president took for granted Writing checks the whole world pays And in all the madness Thought becomes numb and naive Too much to talk about And nothing for to say It's the same every day And the wave won't break Tell you to pray while The devil's on his shoulder Laying claim to the take That our soldiers save Does not equate, and The truth's already out there The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide Looking in the eyes of the fallen You've got to know there's another Another Another Another Another Way It's a shame to awake in a world of pain What does it mean when The war has taken over It's the same every day And the wave won't break Tell you to pray while The devil's on his shoulder The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide The whole world World over It's a world wide suicide
