In the last December
Of 2012
I could use some answers, I could use some help
These priced possessions
These killing machines
They deafen the sound of a trillion dreams
And it's weighing on my mind
And I know I'm not one of a kind
I was born of flesh and bone
And I live my life with words alone
Help me understand
How the violent man
Hasn't heard the new plan
Help me be the light
Shining in his sight
That he can be blinded by
Help me tell the one
When the anger comes
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you hurt someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you lose someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and your enemies won
And your enemies won
Now I know what you're thinking
I'm just a city boy
Never short for food, never short for joy
But I'll tell you you're half right
And I respect you just the same
But I'm talking about people killing people to blame
It's one and one is three
Argument in my country
But if our forefathers could grieve
They would cry to see the fear we keep
Help me understand
How the violent man
Hasn't heard the new plan
Help me be the light
Shining in his sight
That he can be blinded by
Help me tell the one
When the anger comes
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you hurt someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you lose someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and your enemies won
And your enemies won
Help me understand
How the violent man
Hasn't heard the new plan
Help me be the light
Shining in his sight
That he can be blinded by
Help me tell the one
When the anger comes
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you hurt someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and you lose someone
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and your enemies won
Fire, fire, coz you're gone and your dream is gone
