Lyrics
Is there a God?
Is he watching?
Is she watching?
Are they watching now?
If not, what are we doing?
Where are we going?
What are we doing now?
Look at all these people
Searching for a reason,
Searching for a piece of mind. Hey!
They say we're all created equal,
That's what they teach us,
But that ain't how we treat each other
Nah that ain't how we treat each other
Shit, The truth is that we need each other, yeah.
[Chorus 1:]
Diamond in the back,
Babies on crack,
Kickin' the door,
Waving the four four
White-collared war crime, money gets spent
Just candles in the sun, blowing in the wind
Sun goes down.
Heroes often get shot
Peace has long been forgot got
Ohh it'll be too late when we find out
We're all that we got
Take a look around now
Just take a look around
Business and governments just, watch as the innocent fade.
Mindless bureaucracy fails, hindering government aid.
Aren't you appalled?
What are we doing?
Where are we going?
What are we doing?
[Chorus 2:]
Diamond in the back,
Babies on crack,
Kickin' the door,
Waving the four four
(Oh yeah)
White-collared war crime, money gets spent
Candles in the sun, blowing in the wind
(Take a look around)
Sun goes down.
(Look around)
Heroes often get shot
Peace has long been forgot got got got
Oh will it be too late once we find out?
We're all that we got
(Yeah yea)
We're all that we got
(Yeah yea)
We're all that we got
(ooh)
May we all live long
And may we all be brave
And the bridges we burn, only light our way
May we all be strong
And we all be brave
And the bridges we burn, only light our way
May we all live long
May we all be brave
And the bridges we burn, only light our way
May we all live long
And we all be brave
And the bridges we burn, will be the bridges we burn
We're all that we got
(ooh)
We're all that we got
(ooh)
We're all that we got
(Nah)
Look around now
That we're all that we got
(Yeah Yeah)
Is there a God?
Is he watching?
Is she watching?
Are they watching now?
Is there a God?
I'm sure he's watching
What are we doing?
Where are we going, nah?
Take a look around now
We're all that we got
