Walk Softly Lyrics

Break down the border
We gotta stop this nation the new war
We ask the gov for answers
But it's plain to see they ain't got no clue
They just keep pointing fingers
You can pass the blame but we all know the truth
In the end it don't even matter
Cause the only blames on me and you

Can't you see that they way that we living
It won't easily be forgiven
Can't you see that the way that we living now
It won't easily be forgiven
The house, the car, the foot in the kitchen
Turn up the heat give me warm when we're sleeping
Can't you see that they way we living
It won't easily be forgiven, no

Break down the system
No we just can't let it be
I know it's easier to look away
But tell me what's with all the apathy
We never never wanna take our time
Standing in the checkout line
We just a shuffle shuffle shuffle our feet
Let me throw my money away
Ain't got the time of day
Or caring's not something I really need
So take, well take it from me
I can't bear to see all the damage that I've been dosed
Man, well the price we pay
We should've stayed in our caves and let life just run its course

Oh now it's such a crying shame
All the shit we leave behind for those without a name
Tell me is it all in vain
If we can't learn from the past we're doomed to repeat it again and again

And we say we want no part of this
Well what are we waiting for
Keep on telling me it's almost won
It never should've begun

And we say we want no part of this
Well what are we waiting for
Keep on telling me it's almost won
Why's it still going on?

And now we see that our ship's not coming in
You think we might've thought of that before we cast ourselves adrift
We keep leaving footprints far bigger than our feet
If we're gonna keep trampling on
Well can we please walk softly

Can't you see that they way that we living
It won't easily be forgiven
Can't you see that the way that we living now
It won't easily be forgiven
The house, the car, the foot in the kitchen
Turn up the heat give me warm when we're sleeping
Can't you see that they way we living
It won't easily be forgiven, no

Well it's such a crying shame
All the shit we leave behind for those without a name
Tell me is it all in vain
If we can't learn from the past we're doomed to repeat it again and again

And we say we want no part of this
Well what are we waiting for
Keep on telling me it's almost won
It never should've begun
