I hope you find what you're looking for when it all comes running down

I hope you find it painted black on your window, or the lips of your lover's frown

Cuz if it dies in cold, when the clouds start to roll

Is it then that your soul, starts to bleed?

Have you ever seen the President who killed your wounded child?

Or the man that crashed your sister's plane claiming he was sent of God?

And when she died in your arms, late that night in the dark

Did you pray to your God to come home?

Cuz it ain't fair to say, that these tracks are the same


[Chorus]

So God if you can hear me crash this train

I said God if you can hear me crash this train

Now a note to the President, and the Government, and the Judges of this place

We're still waiting for you to bring our troops home, clean up that mess you made

Cuz it smells of blood and money and oil across the Iraqi land

But it seems so easy here to blind us with your "United We Stand"

And it ain't hard to see that this Country ain't free


[Chorus]

To the mothers and to the fathers who've done the best they could

Cuz raisin' youngins in a messed up world, it ain't so understood

So I'll cover my ears, and my eyes, pretend that love's the same

Cuz with one court's signature, it all becomes erased

And it ain't hard to tell

When it's love that we sell


[Chorus]

I said God if you can hear me crash this train

I said my God if you can hear me crash this train
