Turn on your TV, see what they’ve done?
They’ve made our culture look like a setting sun.
But we’re better than that, because we know how.
If killing worked, it would have worked by now

We’re all grunts in the human army.
Four million at war and one billion starving.
Sick to death of those old boys rules.
We’ll make our future or we’ll die like fools.

For how can we live, when all that we’ve learned,
Is to give more pain in return?

If killing worked, it would have worked by now.

How can we live when all that we’ve learned,
Is to give more pain in return?
And how can we live until we all learn,
Just to be more kind in return?

If killing worked, it would have worked by now.

Turn on your TV, see what we’ve done?
Our culture looks like a setting sun.
But we’re better than that, because we know how,
If killing worked, it would have worked by now.
