Saw the news in the afternoon
and'nother war will be coming soon
man ripped up like a piece of paper
with his wife looking on and no one to help her
Hammill says weand're still in the dark ages
with peopleand's greed and hating rages
the world donand't learn so the world will burn
the world will burn cause the world wonand't learn
Looks like iand'm gonna build my shelter again
such a messed up world weand're living in today
thank god for the rain, maybe itand'll wash that scum away
Streets ainand't safe in this town no more
a girl get hassled at her front door
violence rising out of hand
canand't bring the kids up in this land
Getting mugged on your way home
by kids with masks and knifes they own
how long will it be till they got a gun
and hoot you down just like a dog for fun
Looks like iand'm gonna build my shelter again
such a messed up world weand're living in today
thank god for the rain, maybe itand'll wash that scum away
Thought my sensitivity would be smashed, by some inner city wisdom trash
instead my own phobia centricity is growing out of every bit of me
i like my home i donand't want to move but maybe iand'll be forced soon
to lock the doors and board up the windows
Looks like iand'm gonna build my shelter again
such a messed up world weand're living in today
thank god for the rain, maybe itand'll wash that scum away
People die and nature replaces
you see the lives in all the faces
of so-called lunatics and basket cases
whoand'd hang themselves with their shoe laces
They have no place in the rat race
as a society which just misplaces
puts more importance on money not faces
and have itand's sleeves filled with all the aces
Looks like iand'm gonna build my shelter again
such a messed up world weand're living in today
thank god for the rain, maybe itand'll wash that scum away
