Lyrics

He's got a gun
Like the joint stuck in his mouth
They fire into the crowd
Protest like a shroud
Because the coverage on TV
I can't see what's really behind the anger
I see and hear about it every day it seems
But there's never any context or history
It's like a picture of a newborn baby
Can tell you what the parents look like
And the crowds disperse back to their homes
What's left are the bodies in the street
And they count the injuries
Will it make it to TV?
With a wish I'm taken away
With a wish I will turn away
With a wish I fly away
With a wish I'm taken
He's got a joint
Like the gun stuck in his hand
The smoke smells like the job is done
Any country can wish it away
But the anger just waits for another day
Because anger is patience and patient can delay
And guns can't kill everyone
And we're told we get the whole story
What's left are the bodies in the street
And they count the injuries
Will it make it to TV?
With a wish I'm taken away
With a wish I will turn away
With a wish I fly away
With a wish I'm taken
