We Can’t Carry On

We...
Are staring down the barrel of a gun
We...
Are embarking on a war that can't be won
Us...
Who pontificate on all that's right and wrong
You...
Who close your eyes to what's been going on
We can't carry on

We can't carry on
We can't... carry on
We just can't carry on
We just can't carry on

We crawled...
Like lizards from pre-neolithic soup
We fashioned...
Idols while the Gods all remained mute
We fought...
Each other for the righteous do believe
We kill.
And die with our hubris on our sleeve
We can't carry on

We can't carry on...
We can't... carry on
We just can't carry on...
We just can't carry on...

And now...
We hunt down evil...
In a foreign land
While children lay in silence and mothers wring their hands
We don't feel the torment or the hatred we gave birth
All the gods remain indifferent while we bring down hell on earth
If you analyse or rationalise you will plainly see
There's much more to this than meets the eye
Wherever you may be
Waves of disenfranchised childhood march with murder in their eyes
Foreign policy constructed from a veneer of lies
You're a lie
You're a lie
You're a lie
You're...

We just can't carry on
We can't carry on
We can't... carry on
We just can't carry on
We cannot carry on

We cannot...

We can't carry on...
We can't carry on...
We just can't carry on...
