lyrics

there are babies crying in cages tonight.
there are walls cleaving rifts in between us.
prayers on the breeze for protection and peace,
but there's blood spilling over the desert.

they've got infrared sensors
unmanned drones
"detention centers" and then there are the bones
of innocents come seeking home, seeking home
there is blood spilling over the desert.

oh, this is war
they are kicking in doors
checking the cupboards and knockin the floors
haven't we all seen this same thing before?

there is blood spilling over the desert.

blood on the hands of the violent?
oh, that's blood on the hands of the rich
blood on the hands of the silent
blood on the hands of the snitch

and just because you see it now don't mean it's just begun
them snakes are finally slithering out to warm themselves in sun
when you hear that rattle, do you fight or do you run?
they got one hand on that money
and the other on their guns

there are babies crying in cages tonight
there are walls cleaving rifts in between us
prayers on the breeze for protection and peace
but there's blood spilling over the desert.
oh, there's blood spilling over the desert.
