I hear you praying with your hands clasped over your chest I hear men slaying while they say "keep doing your best" I hear the laughter of someone up above Who's playing games in the name of love I hear you laughing I hear you laughing I see people dying in the blood and the dust And the gunshots of vicious murderous lust I feel the sunshine as it heats up my blood I feel it burning like my hate if I could I hear you laughing I hear you laughing I hear the silence of a kid's suicide Who couldn't find any place he could hide I hear you laughing I hear you laughing I hear the chang ring as it hits your steel tills And all the loving you save for your dollar bills I hear my heart beat as I talk to myself I'm just statistics to help you add to your wealth I hear you laughing I hear you laughing
