Jails And Bombs

Jails And Bombs - Amos Lee

The one I love is lost

Without the least bit of explanation

Just goes to show the futility of self preservation

Now all I seem to see is all this war

And goin' amongst our nation

What good will it do

Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation

Forever reading on and on from (58574,199genesis to revelation

But never stopping for a second to examine the situation

After all that we've been through

And will it only end

When there's nothing left to defend

Will we ever see yeah

A common bond of humanity

I get a landscape of famine and also of frustration

With children walking round

Without the proper means to education

And still up there on Capitol Hill

They're passing all of this legislation

For jails and bombs

Still we live behind

These hollow walls of lies and segregation

People walking round

Without the proper means to medication

And still up there on Capitol Hill

They're passing all this legislation

For jails and bombs

Anybody out there can hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer
