I can't believe the news today,
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away,
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?
How long?
'Cause tonight we can be as one,
Tonight.
Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street,
But I won't heed the battle call, it puts my back up,
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.
And the battle's just begun,
There's many lost, but, tell me, who has won?
The trench's dug within our hearts,
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?
How long?
