I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault
How could they be so wrong?
And man, of all five billion people you're only one
Believed them for far too longClean hands
My land is my homeI'm inside the big machine
And it's eating me
And I am just a wheel in motion
Too blind to see
The way we are heading nowI'm hollow
I swallowBut inside I'm strong
Inside I'm free
Inside I'm young
Inside I'm still meSince 1990 there have been 93 wars in 70 states around the world
With 5.5 million people dead 75% of those people were civilians+
1million of them were children
(Guns don't kill, I don't kill, do I?)Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight
Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight
I only feel lonely outside this bar
Look at me when I speak, who do you think you are?
Just look at me now, inside I'm lostNow I'm vain, numb this pain
Why is it burning?
Clean as rain, not a stain
Why am I yearning?I can't sleep, I twist and turn
In too deep, I sweat, I burn
I'm afraid that I'll awake, dressed up in a big mistake
Then I'd breakWhat if I just closed my eyes?
(I'm not clean)
What if I shut out the lies?
(Blood unseen)
And what if I could hear my heart
(All over my hands)
Accusing me for taking part
Of the machine
