We are insane, the world's on fire
Twisting in vain in broken empires
Going too far, digging too much
The deck is cut for the biggest liars
They say the storm tracks in from the east
The hurricane lives deep in the heart of the beast
We are insane standing on trial
Distant screams drowned under denial
White against black, man against child
Watching it burn in uncivilized pyres
Standing closed fisted in flaming sands
Burning down the soul of enraged lands
Paradise, we've made a mess
Broke the world on the back of the poorest
Now we're all standing in water asking what's next
We are insane, hopeless & tired
Starving and cold on borders of wire
Fearing the worst, trusting the least
Wondering how to turn greed into a feast
They say the storm tracks in from the east
The hurricane lives deep in the heart of the beast
Paradise, we've made a mess
Broke the world on the back of the poorest
Now we're all standing in water asking what's next
