You thought you could fight the bad guys The truth is, there are no bad guys or good guys We all are bad guys, pretending to be the good guys Name your cause, from religion beliefs To the elimination of chemical weapons, O’ blasphemy! We’ve all stared evil in the face Whether we are calm or break into a rage We can choose to run past the madness Or stare evil in the face with calmness But that would bring the world into sadness The cause of all this irony Is human beings have abused their destiny The call for peace has echoed throughout history Abuse of power is all too co
