Bloodshed

(album: The Screaming Jets - 1995)

To fill your mind up full of views, all you gotta do is watch the news
I'm a stranger so full of doubt and I just can't seem to work it out
I don't try to get involved, but I can't ignore all the things I'm told
Grieving faces tell me the score, it's a body count in another war

All around is bloodshed, and people just wanna be free
Well we've got free misrepresentation
Leave it all up to me
You're just another boot-legging bomber boy trying to make me see
But all I see is bloodshed

You never know who makes the rules, lying deceiving and following fools
Is this a plot without a clue? Who's gonna give it up and who's gotta choose?
What in the world is their reason or cause?
What's your excuse and the point of it all?
You say your answer is bigger than my question
A ballot box for my suggestion

All around is bloodshed and people just wanna be free
Well we've got free misrepresentation
Leave it all up to me
You're just another boot-legging bomber boy trying to make me see
But all I see is bloodshed, running down, running down, hey

The system switched to overload and now it's fading from my screen
The system set a standard and now it's going to extremes

All around is bloodshed and people just wanna be free
We've got free misrepresentation
Just leave everything up to me
You're just a boot-legging bomber boy trying to make me see
But all I see is bloodshed in the name of peace
