Civilised? lyrics

Turned on the radio to hear The tragic story of an boy of 7 years Should be sleeping in his bed Should be sleeping, but instead he's lying dead. In a world where children lose their lives Face the bullet, face the knife Is this what we call being civilised? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories? What happened to our pleasant land? Ignore the suffering, ignore the outstretched hand That reaches out to us in vain We are fortunate we don't end up the same. In a world with nowhere left to run Spiral downwards, damage done Is this what we call being civilised? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories? In a world with nowhere left to run Spiral downwards, damage done Is this what we call being civilised? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories? Face the pain, it's all gone wrong Who's to blame? It can go on Can't rewind, what's done is done When will we learn from the memories?
