[Verse 1 - Chester P]

Welcome to the other side of happiness and lullabies

Where tiny mercenary eyes smolder from the gutters life

The glow of dying glory in the embers of a mothers pride

'Cause Nathan was a loving child until his older brother died

See he was sitting eating porridge when the soldiers come

To tell his aging mum she had outlived her oldest son

And now she wept they said your son had died a hero's death

They took a nervous breath both saluted turned around and left

Now Nathans heart is filled with hatred for Afghanistan

Along with every Muslim 'cause he thinks they're all the Taliban

While from a mountain home another child without a name

Is waiting for her father with some food and neither ever came

Her father died from a bullet wound a mile away

He died without a weapon while the guilty fled to hide in caves

It's just another life, sadly it's another day

That left a little girl with only martyrdom to pave her way

She grew with clerics filled with hatred as her ruling guide

And trained her in explosives for a homicidal suicide

There is no moral to a story that was bred at war

And all there is to say I'm sure at some points all been said before

It's just another life, sadly just another day

And sadder still another just the same is never far away

It's just another life and sadly just another day

And sadder still another just the same is never far away


[Hook]

We live, we die, that's life, i guess

There's war, famine, hate and death

There's them, there's us, there's you, there's me

We live, we die, we're rarely free

But love exists in strength in mind

And all good things will come with time

So raise your fists, and sing with me

I'm god, I'm strong, I'm proud, I'm free


[Verse 2 - Farma G]

Welcome to the other side of happiness and lullabies

Where people cast their sleepy eyes focused on the world outside

Overlooking power struggles that are here inside

And constantly remain in self denial as their world divides

Now Patrick visits dad at the cemetery

Who was killed as he was marching through the town of Derry

And generations of his family have also suffered

Another loss of bloody Sunday that they won't recover

All this dying for religion and its politics

Has Patrick at the bar getting drunk singing "fuck the English"

But somewhere in a London estate

Terry hates the Irish and thinks they all support the IRA

'Cause back in '92 his little sister passed away

A bomb inside a van that took her life and he can't take the pain

He wants to die and take her place but he knows he can't

So now he's filled with hate and loves to fight given any chance

And these are families from 2 different nations

Related by their grief, pain and frustrations

It's always hard to heal the wounds that were caused by war

When it's difficult to understand what we're fighting for

It's just another life, sadly just another day

And sadder still another just the same is never far away

It's just another life and sadly just another day

And sadder still another just the same is never far away


[Hook]

We live, we die, that's life, i guess

There's war, famine, hate and death

There's them, there's us, there's you, there's me

We live, we die, we're rarely free

But love exists in strength in mind

And all good things will come with time

So raise your fists and sing with me

I'm god, I'm strong, I'm proud, I'm free
