Paroles de Another Day In Paradise

I never had it tough, disconnected from the world outside
until I took a look around, realized people are dying
Now I feel all this hatred and I see what it breeds:
a moral system based on violence, intolerance and greed.
No, don't back away, let your voice be heard
Learn how we butcher one another the way we butcher the herd.
but still blame our televisions, are we "desensitized"
or just so afraid of what we'll see we can't open our eyes?

Shotgun bang another dead body in the street
The beginning hopeful, the ending bittersweet.
Another lesson in hypocrisy, but tell me what have you learned?
His friends are crying, a family yearns
for something more than the condolences that they'll receive.
"It's another bad batch, another mistake." Who'd believe
we'd fall so far and end up this way.
Living for tommorow but we're dying today.

Another day in Paradise
with nothing to show.
Life's too short
by now you'd think we?d know.

Shotgun bang, race riots down in the street
A baby's gone, a mother's on her feet.
He was a father, a husband, and friend and a son. and this vision of peace becomes one more shattered dream.

Another day in Paradise
with nothing to show.
Life's too short
by now you'd think we'd know.

What have we learned?
