We say that’s not who we are but it is
Injustice rising, de-civilising
We say that’s not who we are but it is
Our collective conscience
Is proven nonsense every minute of the day
I’ve watched these years of decline
Now I’m an old man
I’d like to say things would get better
I don’t think that I can
We say that’s not who we are but it is
When did we decide to aid a genocide?
We say that’s not who we are but it is
Causing hunger
Following warmongers to the deepest pits of Hell
We talk of barbarism
Like we left it in the past
While we elect malignant scoundrels
Each one as bad as the last
We lecture others on morality
While wi’ the de’il we sup
We say we face down terror
Just hold a mirror up
Well, we say that’s not who we are but it is
Injustice rising, de-civilising
We say that’s not who we are but it is
Our collective conscience
Is proven nonsense every minute of the day
Nonsense every minute of the day
