Antisect - The Buck Stops Here lyrics

Is life better than d**h If so, then surely peace must be better than war If suffering is something that nobody wants Why should it escalate more Are we really so afraid we have to close our eyes And ignore that these things exist Some of us believe that it's more important To feed the banker before the poor And some are not quite sure just what they want But they're positive that they want more Conflict in the name of peace As we declare war again and again Seems to be that the politics of power Are brutal murder equals material gain Why are we content to ride the wave Whilst forgetting about the storm And why must the hand that delivers the child Seek to strangle the unborn Rich, stinking, parasite Wealth in wallet but none in mine Divorced from want and oblivious to The unfortunates of humankind... And meanwhile, half a world away A baby cries, dying of hunger, It's tiny body ravaged by disease, An old man falls to his knees Embracing a blood stained corpse that once carried life The battering corpse of his wife A grief stricken mother turns silently from a window As she waits for her son who'll never return Another victim of another cause Obscenity...war In the playground wide eyed children play war games Whilst on the other side of the street real war continues guns and bombs as toys Or the real mccoy Men pointing rifles out of armored cars Creates tension, causes bloodshed And we fool ourselves, as some of us believe that this is peace A grain of rice a day Keeps malnutrition at bay...(bollocks) Most so called aid to the third world Comes in the form of weapons We'll I'm sorry mate but something's gone wrong If we seriously believe that guns and bombs preserve life Seems to us that the opposite is true Weapons create wealth only for the arms dealers Is it really okay to make profit out of d**h Civilization? We're but a f**ing joke We're never find peace unless we find ourselves But it's late and it's getting very dark outside When we are confronted with obstacles in our path towards a more compa**ionate and wholesome way of life. Too often we pa** the blame on to someone or something else. We do this in order to remove the burden from ourselves. And thus we distort the problem rather than solve it. The ends we reach for cannot be achieved unless we find in ourselves what we desire to see throughout the world. An awareness of what we are doing, and where it is leading us, is the first major stage and found our own way through it, can we further our own personal progress. it is then, that we may reflect on what we see, and, if necessary, make efforts to change ourselves. When we have learnt to recognize the strength that lays within each and every one of us, the foundations for a truly harmonious world will have been laid. When we have learnt to use this strength to it's full advantage, when we have learnt to share it with those who have not yet found it within themselves, we may then, and only then, begin to really set forth on the path towards a peaceful coexistence for all to share. Together we can change the world, but time is running out and the buck stops with you.
