lyrics

See it in the papers and you hear it when the radio drones
Taste it on your bitter tongue and feel it in the ache of your bones
And everybody knows it, but no one really gets it at all
Build our towers up into the sky to watch them crumble and fall

This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down

Holy men and harlots on the corners with the beggars and fiends
Politicians selling us a smile to build their killing machines
Now everybody’s talking, but no one really knows what to do
And while we’re lost in complications love would speak so simple and true

This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
This debt’s been paid; there’s blood on the ground
This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down

Once more we’ll throw it in the fire
And watch it all go up in flames
By now we should’ve gotten tired
But here we go again with the games

This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
This mess we’ve made is hanging around
This debt’s been paid; there’s blood on the ground
This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
