Lines And Borders

Lines and borders

Are all in who decides ‘em, yeah [harmony]

And it’s life, but the point is

Why we fight just to divide it, yeah (tell me why) [echo]

Why we fight just to divide it

And the fields and the fences

Are drawn by hands that never bled

And the truth, if you listen

Is no one wins when hope is dead

No one wins when hope is dead

when hope is dead !

Whyyyyyyy?

Who are we fighting for?

Oh, ooh [vocal cue soft]

What are we dying for?

Yeah, now is a moment

And a life is who you share it with

But we’re trading tomorrow (tomorrow)

For war that nobody gets

No, all wars that nobody gets

And I believe what the truth is

Peace is the message we’re born here with (say it loud)

We don’t need all this hurting

We don’t need to keep choosing this

Peace is the right way to live

Names on paper

Turn to numbers overnight

And the stories get folded

In the shadows of the fight

In the shadows of the fight

And the mothers and the fathers

Keep on praying through the news (they pray)

While the cost keeps on climbing

For a cause we didn’t choose

For a cause we didn’t choose!!!

Howwwwww?

How did it come to this?

Oh, ooh

It don’t have to be like this

Yeah, now is a moment

And a life is who you share it with

But we’re trading tomorrow (tomorrow)

For wars that nobody gets

No, wars that nobody gets

And I believe what the truth is

Peace is the message we’re born here with (say it loud)

We don’t need all this hurting

We don’t need to keep choosing this

Peace is the right way to live

the right way to live

(build — pointed message)

While suits in quiet rooms draw lines (draw the lines)

And sign their names in ink and gold

They never stand where bullets fly

They never feel the cold

And fortunes rise when sirens sound

And markets climb on fear

While we’re the ones they send away

And call it duty here

If power profits from the pain

Then something ain’t right

We’re paying with our lives and love

While they just count the price

Politicians, Billionaires, corporations filling their pockets

Yeahhhhhh

If a hand can hold a weapon

It can hold another hand (reach out)

If a heart can learn the hatred

It can learn to understand

We’re the same under heaven

Same breath, same borrowed time

If we wanted it together

We could leave any war behind

We could leave any war behind!

Ooh, ooh

Lay your weapons down

Oh, ooh [vocal cue soft]

Hear the quiet sound

Yeah, now is a moment

And a world is who we share it with (all of us!)

Why we breaking each other

For wars that nobody gets?

No, wars that nobody gets

And I believe what the truth is

Peace is the message we’re born here with (say it loud)

If we wanted it, honest

We could end all of this

Peace is the right way to live

Peace is the right way (right way)

We don’t have to live like this

Oohhhh No we don’t

Politicians, Billionaires, corporations filling their pockets

Over and over for distraction
