Tell me

Verse 1
​The sky was once so blue and bright,
Now it’s just grey and fast as light.
The birds are all flying away,
In the cold dirt is where I stay.
My teddy bear has only one ear,
I feel so lost and full of fear.
Mom says we must not make a sound,
But houses crash screaming to the ground.
​Chorus
​Tell me, have you all lost your mind?
Why is it only pain and killing that we find?
I don't get what you're trying to prove,
While the thunder makes the streets move.
Why build walls instead of a bridge across?
In my world, there is a giant loss.
Is anyone listening to what I say?
I just want peace at the end of the day.
​Verse 2
​You talk about borders, money, and power,
But that’s not my world, not for one hour.
I just wanted to play soccer today,
Instead, I have to hide away.
Your massive tanks fill me with dread,
I don't even know what's in your head.
You are the adults, you should protect our lives,
Instead, I see tears where the puddle lies.
​Chorus
​Tell me, have you all lost your mind?
Why is it only pain and killing that we find?
I don't get what you're trying to prove,
While the thunder makes the streets move.
Why build walls instead of a bridge across?
In my world, there is a giant loss.
Is anyone listening to what I say?
I just want peace at the end of the day.
​Bridge
​Can't you just share? Have you forgotten how?
You are so far away from us now.
Just put your weapons down on the floor,
I see absolutely no point in war.
​Chorus
​Tell me, have you all lost your mind?
Why is it only pain and killing that we find?
I don't get what you're trying to prove,
While the thunder makes the streets move.
Why build walls instead of a bridge across?
In my world, there is a giant loss.
Is anyone listening to what I say?
I just want peace at the end of the day.
​Outro
​The sky turns dark, I close my eyes...
I still can't believe all these lies.
Have you all gone insane?
Give me my life back again.
