[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sit down and eat your supper and gaze at the evening news
Another riot started up today across the globe from
But until the tear gas shatters through a window of your home
Youll just sit back relax and say its not your problem
Another innocent killed by a cop today
But hey I guess thats just the way things go
[Music Break]
[Verse 2]
Another school another gun
Another hundred dead another horrid tragedy
That could ve been prevented
An open talk a gun safe lock
A million solutions but no one took the time
Cause surely itll never happen to them
Another bullied kid took a gun to school today
But hey I guess thats just the way things go
[Chorus]
The next world war is just around the corner
Blinded by the glitz and glam disease
Sirens wail the anthem of a generation frozen in apathy
N.C.
You cant change the channel with the war at your doorstep
[Whitney]
You cant deny theres bliss in ignorance
But you cant ignore a ing
Bullet lodged inside your chest
[Jesse]
If we dont do somethin soon were ed
Well be bringin up our kids in a warzone âcause were livin in a timebomb
Tick tick tickin away and its so much easier to stay inside
And stay docile and just deny that all the while
We couldve been the fix but fed the problem and now maybe its too late
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
The next world war is just around the corner
Blinded by the glitz and glam disease
Sirens wail the anthem of a generation frozen in apathy
N.C.
You cant change the channel with the war at your doorstep
