[Verse 1] Sit down and eat your supper and gaze at the evening news Another riot started up today across the globe from But until the tear gas shatters through a window of your home You'll just sit back relax and say it's not your problem Another innocent k**ed by a cop today But hey I guess thats just the way things go [Verse 2] Another school another gun Another hundred dead another horrid tragedy That could've been prevented An open talk a gun safe lock A million solutions but no one took the time Cause surely it'll never happen to them Another bullied kid took a gun to school today But hey I guess that's just the way things go [Chorus] The next world war is just around the corner Blinded by the glitz and glam disease Sirens wail the anthem of a generation frozen in apathy
You can't just change the channel with the war at your doorstep [Whitney] You can't deny there's bliss in ignorance But you can't ignore a f**ing bullet Lodged inside your chest [Jesse] If we don't do somethin' soon we're f**ed We'll be bringin' up our kids in a warzone ‘cause we're livin' in a timebomb Tick tick tickin' away and it's so much easier to stay inside And stay docile and just deny that all the while We could've been the fix but fed the problem and now maybe it's too late [Chorus] The next world war is just around the corner Blinded by the glitz and glam disease Sirens wail the anthem of a generation frozen in apathy You can't just change the channel with the war at your doorstep
