And So This We Know

What is this that we know

Who has gone so far

Maybe it's war again

With someone's friend
 And so this we know

Was evil ever any good

For those in the past

Then for the future again
 

Do we leave it all up to

Politicians and their men

And just sit at home

Indulging in what is sin
 

What is this that we do

Being selfish and rude

With all the rest who live

Inside this tiny room
Get what they can, go on
Then be gone again
The door is left open
Skies fall on blind eyes
 

Do we leave it all up to
Those that have big plans
Or sit on our fat chairs
Playing seek and go hide
 
What is this that we are
Little children without care
See calm before a storm
Trash and nonsense in air 

Could it all be undone
Why not stare and pretend
Fixated on a flat screen
We'll just press send
 
Who will we leave it up to
If know one does care
Peoples of our future
Perhaps just on a dare
 
And so this we know
Knowing what it is
I'll leave it to you
And pick up over there
