Looking out the window I see a promised
Land of men so proud and dishonest
Only four summers behind and still she has to hide
From the true nature of mankind
How can you live
With such blind eyes and no conscience
How can you stand
Seeing that truth in the child's face
And every moment we spend by doing nothing to help
We might as well be hitting that child ourselves
With the act of silence
We contribute to violence
That can't go on, go on no more
With all the progress
Where's the success
How can we ignore the pain
So take a stand when you can
As the united one we have the winning hand
We have the winning hand
In the safe of her home and public everyday
She feels the shame while hiding the pain
The parental advice was to hide and lie
Out of sight and out of mind
With the act of silence
We contribute to violence
That can't go on, go on no more
With all the progress
Where's the success
How can we ignore the pain
So take a stand when you can
As the united one we have the winning hand
No control of the primal urges
A need so strong and urgent
Seeing the chance to seize it
Once more, comply
To the act of violence
All who oppose are silenced
A soul so weak, diminished
A burden on us all
With the act of silence
We contribute to violence
That can't go on, go on no more
With all the progress
Where's the success
How can we ignore the pain
So take a stand when you can
As the united one we have the winning hand
We have the winning hand
Looking out the window, what do you see
Is it land of hope or hypocrisy
To each their own, eye for an eye
Leads to nothing but pain, a nation so blind
