Pity Me
Intro(war groan)
Main
Land of Murderous mayhem,
Where Terror takes control,
What chance does a child have,
Of Growing old?
Politics Lead to hatred
Massacre Causes Fear
A mother prays for Cease-fire,
And sheds Another tear.
Defence for confrontation,
Anti-violence regime,
Clampdown on terrorism,
American supreme.
Teenage vermin,
Bullet alternative,
Impulsive aggression,
Gives up the right to live.


Chorus
Religion creates division,
Yet there's unity in pain,
Revenge makes them worse,
Both Countries are to blame.
Religion creates division,
Yet there's unity in pain,
Revenge makes them worse,
Both Countries are to blame.

Main
Bodies under the rubble,
Skyscraper tomb,
Struggling pulse of a foetus,
Dead mothers womb
Cold blooded killing,
Innocent slayed,
Leaders Unwilling,
To lift the blockade
Demoralised Nation,
Ruined by routine,
Civilians killed and beaten,
A vision unseen.
Focused erasure,
Of ethical actions,
Adding pressure,
To racial tensions.

Chorus
Religion creates division,
Yet there's unity in pain,
Revenge makes them worse,
Both Countries are to blame.
Religion creates division,
Yet there's unity in pain,
Revenge makes them worse,
Both Countries are to blame.

Main
Economical Boycotts,
Create Isolation .
Ignoring the problem,
Blind solution.
Media Declarations,
tv warfare,
Diplomatical disease,
Choking the air.
Colonial disputes,
Over Abandoned land,
Unbearable despair,
Of Militant command.
Infant Fatality,
Calls for a Reaction.
Demoralised Gunmen,
Heighten the problem.

Outro
(Chorus at half pace)
Religion creates division,
Yet there's unity in pain,
Revenge makes them worse,
Both Countries are to blame.
