MERIT - Everybody Cannot Live

Everybody wants to live
But everybody cannot live
Those who live watch those who die
While patiently waiting in line
Everybody wants to live
But everybody cannot live
Smoke's in reach, so we can smell
The bombs and guns that we have built ourselves
When will it be us, when is it our turn
To lose our homes and to see our streets burn
Why should we trust a group of men
That's applauding for war
Again and again
Why can't boys fight for the love of their life
Instead of their life being sacrificed
And why does life on mars seem like
A better promise than to win this fight
Everybody wants to live
But everybody cannot live
Everybody wants to live
But everybody cannot live
And how do people even find the time
To divide the victims of a war in black and white
If their skin's not light
Nobody minds
If their families are being left behind
If their familes are being left behind
When will it be us, when is it our turn?
To lose our homes and to see our streets burn
Why should we trust a group of men
That's applauding for war
Again and again
Why can't boys fight for the love of their life
Instead of their life being sacrificed
And why does life on mars seem like
A better promise than to win this fight
When will this stop, when will they say
War is over
There's peace on earth
Not just in Europe, but in Africa
Asia, Australia and America
