Broken faith and broken home
The temper's rising
Feel it humming in your bones
The shells are flying
A common man ain't hard to find
Pockets full of lead
Them tired bells of war keep ringing
In my head
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
Now the bodies piling high
Why, they do not know
Clawing over every mile
Human nature shows
Compassion for another time
Wiser are the dead
Them tired bells of war keep ringing
In my head
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
From the grave to the urn
You can lay where you like
From above sent with grace
No need to be afraid
Bells tolling they're calling your name
Claim your place, and your right
From high above they're ringing everyday
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
Them tired bells of war keep ringing in my head
Don't matter who we are, it's killing everyday
