How to stop the murdering? By now we should have learned If we don't then we're a sham Bad overwhelms the good Bad overwhelms the good
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
What I've seen Yes, it's changed how I see humankind I used to think progress was made We could get something right We could get something right
Enough is enough A line in the sand Seven or eight thousand people Killed by hand They stepped off the edge They did not step back If we have not learnt By now Then we're a sham
When we first got to the camp Our supplies were not enough I saw a displaced family Eating a cold horse's hoof Oh a cold horse's hoof
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
We sent up tents Brought in water Air drops were dispersed I saw people kill each other Just to get there first Oh just to get there first
Enough is enough A line in the sand Seven or eight thousand people Killed by hand They stepped off the edge They did not step back If we have not learnt By now Then we're a sham
What we did? Why we did? I make no excuse We got things wrong But I believe We also did some good
What we did? Why we did? I make no excuse I believe we have a future To do something good
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
