Bathing in the blue light nightmare of the TV war

It's too late, I'm tired, but I can't see sleeping

Simple central fact I can't ignore

Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close, history shows

The one familiar hell we know

Birthright violence, cemetery silence

Makes me sick and sorry for us all

Poison sky and poison sea

Too bad we can't say we don't know better

Both hands are tied by need and greed

Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close, history shows

The one familiar hell we know

Birthright violence, cemetery silence

Endless marching armies

Ancient rages, sacred pages

Makes me sick and sorry for us all

Nobody's hands are clean

It's true and it's obscene

The whole god damned human race and me

Born through love and blood, alone and naked

Condemned forever to be free

Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close

History shows

The one familiar hell we know

Birthright violence, cemetery silence

Endless marching armies

Ancient rages, sacred pages

Makes me sick and sorry for us all...
