lyrics

I'm glad you aren't around to see this
It makes you swallow thin and dry
And now it seems so complicated
I'm watching people lose their lives

And I wonder if it's ever gonna wear itself out
And I wonder bout the families torn to bits
And it's harder just to find a way to swim in this doubt
And all of this just makes me feel like shit

Terrorists have hit New York
The pentagon and God knows where
We watch it on the TV
We wish we had our mothers there

And I wonder if it's ever gonna wear itself out
And I wonder bout the families torn to bits
And it's harder just to find a way to swim in this doubt
And all of this just makes me feel like shit

If we can't honestly live in peace
Then I don't want to be faking free

Morning after and it's not the same
Worse than any hurricane
There is no way to think this is real
The hunted didn't go insane

And I wonder if it's ever gonna wear itself out
And I wonder bout the families torn to bits
And it's harder just to find a way to swim in this doubt
And all of this just makes me feel like shit

If we can't honestly live in peace
Then I don't want to be faking free
