lyrics

The darkness lives inside of every one of us
It's human greed, human instinct
To protect the way you think
You can call it business, call it war
It makes no difference to the poor
Who die in hunger, poisoned soil
While you hug your kids goodnight, and tell them:
“All of the real world monsters
Live outside of our suburban gates
And there’s more each day! There’s more each day!”

You can kill
With a gun or with a pen
With a conscious decision from the safety of a desk
Feed the war, for diamonds or for oil
So you can line your pockets while the blood lines the soil
Murderers! You know exactly what you do
Murderers! We know exactly what we do

Unleash the death squads to protect your politics
Indigenous people cut to pieces
By the wars you help create
Ken Saro-Wiwa! Hanged for Shell
Machine gun hands your wealth controls
The final privilege of the rich:
It buys you distance from the pain
Because there’s always an army for hire
To do your killing so your hands can stay clean
While you’re an ocean away! You’re an ocean away!

You can kill
With a gun or with a pen
With a conscious decision from the safety of a desk
Feed the war, for diamonds or for oil
So you can line your pockets while the blood lines the soil
Murderers! You know exactly what you do
Murderers! We know exactly what we do

Insulated from the true cost of our wealth
The world economy: built on suffering
To feed our fucked-up society
You call it right! You call it faith!
You say we have no right to water
You pass this poison to your children
The toxic waste you leave behind
‘Cause all of the real-world monsters
Are as human as the average saint
Were they born this way? Were they born this way?

You can kill
With a gun or with a pen
With a conscious decision from the safety of a desk
Build a wall, set the world on fire
Shoot all the survivors when they try to climb the wire
Murderers! You know exactly what you do
Murderers! The deadlights will reveal you too
