"Daily Life" lyrics

Sittin' at home flippin' through the channels caught the evening global news
Death and destruction were all around and injustice was just strewn about

Another day we've seen more shots fired inside a peaceful campus room
And this late breaking news is a prime example what's become our normal view
Some local guy up and lost his mind and took some lives in a courthouse, restaurant or school
Now the tears and blood are flowing and they won't stop coming
'cause that dot com dealer takes pay from any fool

This is our daily life!
This is our daily life!
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change

Another day, we turn our eyes and minds to the other side of our globe
We've got children in chains, oppressed trying to break away rising up to no avail
And another road side bomb in a war that's raging on and for what? more oil
While we've got holocaust survivors that are screaming for rememberance,
but African eyes won't see our banners on their soil

This is our daily life!
This is our daily life!
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change

Another day, we all watch and wonder what is happening is this the end
Some are heard saying that it's history's repetition of the middle of the 20th cent
After all we've got war protests, empty banks, empty pockets, and the trial of the Jena six
Can we break the cycle now make the future bright somehow or let hate, and greed become our end?

This is our daily life!
This is our daily life!
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change
Will we learn our mistakes, will we ever change
