We've Been Asking Questions 가사

We've been asking questions of everyone we meet People that we've known for years, neighbors down the street How did it happen, how were we played for fools? Gamblin' with our children's lives in a game that knows no rules We need an answer, a reason why The rulers wage the wars, but our children fight and die Mothers and fathers, you're charged with your children's lives It's up to you to cull between the truth and all the lies Is there a parent, livin' on this earth Who doesn't realize what their children's dreams are worth? We need an answer, a reason why The rulers wage the wars, but our children fight and die Did you ever think about the pain in the night Of the mother whose child was killed in the bloody fight? Or the young veteran who comes home, but not the same Did you ever wonder how it feels to have that pain? Presidents and dictators, tyrants and the shahs Order you to go to war according to their personal laws But don't blame your mothers and your fathers, or your feelings inside, Cause you're all the victims of generations of lies When it comes right down to it, it's up to you The future of the world depends on what you do.
