Where there's an aircraft down   There'll be casualties from some english town   There's always an african war   Leading to one vote, once, once more      (ah) in the face of all of this   What troubles do you and I possess?    (ah) in the face of all of this   Trouble enough it seems      Dawn in afghanistan   They've killed a woman who dressed like a man   A city is under mud   But it's ok, there's no television blood      (ah) in the face of all of this   What troubles do you and I possess?    (ah) in the face of all of this   Our troubles are easy to resist      Here's the chinese   They do exactly what they please   And the toll is climbing high      (ah) in the face of all of this   What troubles do you and I possess?    (ah) in the face of all of this   Our troubles are easy to resist      (ah) in the face of all of this   What troubles do you and I possess?    (ah) in the face of all of this   Our troubles are easy to resist      (ah) in the face of all of this   What troubles do you and I possess?    (ah) in the face of all of this   Troubles I'll now put away
