ONE STRIKE LEFT LYRICS

"Though Everyone Knows"

the little girl looks sad she’s on the run
a burning house is left of what she used to call her home
a helicopter flies into the blood-red sun
it’s fire brought some peace to foreign soil, so why you ask
soldiers rushing in, the world police
to serve and to protect at least the worthwhile fields of oil
the mission’s a success, the threat’s subdued
dictatorship is dead, so long live dictatorship
you cannot tell, the reasons why
throwing bombs, gunning down means to bring some peace to town
just close your eyes, it won’t be real
and still they just keep on telling lies, pretend to save our world
i’m sick of hearing only alibis
propagandistic shows, to make us all believe
to hide the truth, to blind our eyes though everyone knows
money, oil, next year’s votes
more worth than human lives
money, oil, next year’s votes
much more worth than human lives
they promise her a world, where she’d be free
comfort her with things she’d not desired all her life
someday the tears will dry and maybe she’ll forget
but her eyes like broken glass will stay until she dies
her mother’s dead, the daddy’s caught
tortured and forced to show
secrets that he didn’t know
just close your eyes, it won’t be real
and still they just keep on telling lies, pretend to save our world
i’m sick of hearing only alibis
propagandistic shows, to make us all believe
to hide the truth, to blind our eyes though everyone knows
it’s all to conceal, what are your aims
another war involves another deal
that’s how it goes, the public will forget
and you can play your dirty games though everyone knows
everyone knows
they will forget
and you can play your dirty games
we will forget
and you can play your dirty games instead
