Tekst piosenki

How to stop the murdering?

By now we should have learned

If we don’t then we’re a sham

Bad overwhelms the good

Bad overwhelms the good


What I’ve seen

Yes, it’s changed how

I see humankind

I used to think progress was made

We could get something right

We could get something right


Enough is enough

A line in the sand

Seven or eight thousand people

Killed by hand

They stepped off the edge

They did not step back

If we have not learnt

By now

Then we’re a sham


When we first got to the camp

Our supplies were not enough

I saw a displaced family

Eating a cold horse's hoof

Oh a cold horse's hoof


We sent up tents

Brought in water

Air drops were dispersed

I saw people kill each other

Just to get there first

Oh just to get there first


Enough is enough

A line in the sand

Seven or eight thousand people

Killed by hand

They stepped off the edge

They did not step back

If we have not learnt

By now

Then we’re a sham


What we did?

Why we did?

I make no excuse

We got things wrong

But I believe

We also did some good


What we did?

Why we did?

I make no excuse

I believe

we have a future

To do something good
