Alive

A Permanent Shadow

Compositor: CP Fletcher

These bullet holes are killing me
I’ve seen too many casualties
It's groundhog days day-in, day-out
I keep no diary cause I’ve lost count

Under siege or six feet under
That's the choice we have left
Where did it all go wrong I wonder
You get expelled or clubbed to death

It’s history repeating, it seems we never learn
We watch a war on TV while for peace we yearn

Until we end up armless, legless, firendless but alive
Armless, legless, firendless but alive

The wounds from 50 years ago
Have never really healed
You were so keen to tear them open
It was a fake peace deal we sealed

Brainless rads run their own agenda
While holding deadly grudges
Mercenaries from all over the world
Find no juries and no judges

It’s history repeating, it seems we never learn
We watch a war on TV while for peace we yearn

Until we end up armless, legless, firendless but alive
Armless, legless, firendless but alive

We are the human race, we never learn from our mistakes
We are the human race, we never learn from our mistakes
We are the human race, we never learn from our mistakes
We are the human race, we never learn from our mistakes

Armless, legless, friendless, but alive
Armless, legless, friendless, but alive
Armless, legless, friendless, but alive
Armless, legless, friendless, but alive
