Taken for a ride   I know I said I'd rescue you   But their troops had taken hold   At last you're not alone in that city   Am I safer, here in the cold?      These bombs and bullets at night   You wear like jewelry   That seems to be the difference   Between you and me   Let's hope it's not a grave      No war is worth it, without you   No point in living without you   I know you feel the way I do   It's not a real world without you   Let's hope it's not a grave      I heard some friends got taken for a ride   A one way journey, everybody died   It's not unusual, many go that way   Their numbers mounting every single day      But what can I do but hope you're still alive   This is what happens when opposites collide   Public, and private, arbitrary death   'Cause war is power and power is business      We are but numbers, statistics on a sheet   This is what happens whenever humans meet   No need for fingers, we know who to blame   Intolerance will end and start this game      I write this letter while taken for a ride   Maybe I'll see you on the other side   Let's hope it's not a grave   Two fingers crossed, hope it's not a grave      But what can I do but hope you're still alive   This is what happens when opposites collide   Public and private, arbitrary death   'Cause war is power, and power business      These bombs and bullets at night   You wear like jewelry   That seems to be the difference   Between you and me   Hope it's not a grave
