Ambassadors and statesmen Bring us a new war Loud and bloody distractions To forget we've been bled raw Our leaders just can't help it Always talking large Feathering suburban nests From their sabotage If you stand for nothing And look the other way You'll fall for anything Today is our new day See the lawyer full of pride A city courtesan Climbing up the ladder Singing "I'm a self made man" Landlords and freeholders Learn to tie the noose Tight around our necks Til we're choking to get loose God bless all Who read their Bible Study the Koran His curse on all Who use those words To kill another man Justice is a fragile thing Diminished by neglect I don't wanna be a sideshow In this circus of regrets If you stand for nothing And think it's all ok You'll fall for anything Today is our new day
