WATCHING THE SHOW
There was a sign written in blood
Reading "You're here but you'll never know
What you're in for"
You started creeping out in the daylight
Facing the danger, learning how to survive
Soon you got used to the smell of the night
To the colors of death you can see everytime
You turn your head
You feel ashamed when you talk to the world
And you hear their cries echoing in empty halls
Have you ever seen the pride, the fear and anger
In the helpless eyes of those who won't surrender
'cause they still believe there will be another life
but some of them will die while we're watching the show
They promised a fast peace, but there was no profit to make
All those good words, all good intentions
But they're still selling guns
Now a river of mud is covering them
And while they're drowning
They're still shouting shameless lies
This city's burning day after day
Little by little a piece of our dignity is taken away
Tell me what you're left with, when nothing remains
And all the ashes will be blown away
Have you ever seen the pride, the fear and anger
In the helpless eyes of those who won't surrender
'cause they still believe there will be another life
but some of them will die while we're watching the show
