Are we cannibals Are we animals Tearing the flesh from each others bones Are we monsters Constant imposters Desecrating our fathers souls Are we humans Or are we confusing What it means to taste life When the lights go down in the city And the stars come shining out Oh I've been praying but I don't hear no answer Who will come for me tonight Are we locusts So constantly focused On consuming everything that we touch Are we innocent Or conveniently impotent Blind to the lies that we clutch When the lights go down in the city And the stars come shining out Oh I've been praying but I don't get no answer Who will come for me tonight When our stomachs growl, we know that you're feasting When the armies march, we know that you're sleeping When our children bleed, We know you're dreaming of all the things you could ever dream Our cities burn you're out their dancing Celebrating another year's champion Without ever wondering what it all means When the lights go down in the city And the stars come shining out Oh I've been praying but I don't get no answer Who will come for me tonight
