Intro:    Waking up to a dry land    With empty glasses in their hands    To the bone I see their call    A fate for one and all    Watch relief fall from the sky    Still resources running dry       Chorus:    Tell me, how can we ease the pain    That the people going under    Tell me, how can we ease the pain    Tell me, who's gonna take the blame    How can we ease the pain    That the people going under    Tell me, how can we ease the pain    Tell me, who's gonna take the blame       Verse 1:    I watched the children cry    No tears within their eyes    Then I ask the reason why    Life seems to be on the slide    Electing one with no feelings    Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow       Repeat Chorus       Verse 2:    That's what I'd like to know    Cos it's been so long    And it seems to me to be so wrong    Life it's like a ball against the wall    A ball against the wall    If you throw love against the wall    It comes back to you    And if you throw hate against the wall    It's gonna follow you    So what we gonna do to ease the pain (ease the pain) (ease the pain)    How can we ease the pain    That the people going under       Repeat Chorus
