Rise And Fall

(álbum: Boom Baby Boom - 1986)

We're living in some violent times
Silent we watch it in our homes
Street warfare and white collar crimes
As we turn off the feeling in our bones

We're witnessing the rise and fall
It's something that you know we all can see
But who of us will heed the call
Take a stand in the rise and fall

May I be straight, may I be strong
May I be able to tell right from wrong
And pray that the end will be
Somewhere above ground zero
Rise and fall

We're witnessing the rise and fall
It's something that you know we all can see
But who of us will heed the call
Take a stand in the rise and fall

We're living in a human plague
The worst plague of all for what it's worth
We see ourselves in the image of our gods
And carve up this disposable earth

We're witnessing the rise and fall
It's something that you know we all can see
But who of us will heed the call
Take a stand in the rise and fall

May I be straight may I be strong
May I be able to tell right from wrong
And pray that the end will be
Somewhere above ground zero
Rise and fall
