My blood runs cold when I think of the condition
Of human suffering and untold pain
The atrocities of war make my stomach turn
Falling tears on the Earth like burning acid rain
Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
Been so long since anyone's cared?
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all
The world today is like a closened box
For those who have nothing but war torn streets
Shine a ray of hope, a light into their lives
Hid deep inside your heart
May they find their relief
Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
Been so long since anyone's cared?
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all
Hate can never cease by hate in this world
And this I know so
I'm gonna give you these words (give you these words)
And I hope that you'll listen to me 'cause
Hate can never cease by hate in this world (in this world, no!)

Turn about the face and face the faces of death
In a place where men die of disease and starvation
Psycho warfare politicians tool
Won't let them pass the torch to a new generation
Why has it been so long since anyone's noticed?
Been so long since anyone's cared?
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all
Been so long since anyone's noticed? (why has it been so long?)
Been so long since anyone's cared?
We watch and wait as the world keeps turning
Hoping our greed won't consume us all
Why has it been so long?

Oh yeah, critical mass, detonation countdown, July 16th, 1945
This is how we learned to fear the bomb
And wonder how we'd all ever make it out alive
And it's a strange love to love such a strange thing
You know I can't say I feel the same
And it's irony to me that a burning sensation
Means a world so cold it freezes your brain
Oh, pile the skulls up
There must be a million or more
We'll pile the skulls on bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
Oh, bury the dead now
There must be a million or more
We'll bury the dead 'neath bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
Listen up now
Governments may create a world of hate in which
We have to live and breath every day
Fallout and radiation sickness
Red pollution through the myriad waste
Building their weapons of death and mass destruction
Meeting out the justice by megaton
Can we forget the Chernobyl devastation
And remember the uranium gone?
Oh, pile the skulls up
There must be a million or more
We'll pile the skulls on bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
Oh, bury the dead now
There must be a million or more
We'll bury the dead 'neath bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
One world or none
There's gotta be one world or none
There's gotta be one world or none
There's gotta be one world
One world where we can
One world or none
There's gotta be one world or none
It's gotta be one world or none
There's gotta be one world
One world where we can
Oh, pile the skulls up
There must be a million or more
We'll pile the skulls on bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
Oh, bury the dead now
There must be a million or more
We'll bury the dead 'neath bones and ashes
There must be a million or more
