I try to tear myself away,   I'm gripped by the news.   I've heard it said in times of war the first to die is the truth.      I'm damned if I know the answer,   I need one today,   I'm damned if I know the answer,   So godless I wait.      Shame upon the wounded soul,   Who finds his voice in the guns.   Shame on you who use this fear,   A plague upon your sons.      I'm damned if I know the answer,   I need one today,   I'm damned if I know the answer,   So godless I wait.      I try to tear myself away,   I'm gripped by the news,   The lines are drawn, the wars go on, Christian, Muslim and Jews...      I'm damned if I know the answer,   We need one today,   I'm damned if I know the answer,   So godless I wait.
