Clawfinger - Save Our Souls

Pardon my French, but it's all Greek to me When an innocent child is allowed to drown out at sea Our flags are just fiction, our borders just air So regardless of roots you can't tell me that you don't care Because I know for a fact that when it's at your front door When it's your youngest child that you see washed ashore When the bombs are in your backyard and you're under attack When the victim is you, you'll be the first to react Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell We're all cynics at best, we're all under a spell We don't do a thing about it Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope We're all doing our best, we're all trying to cope There's no reason we should doubt it So if we let them in, and then force them back And build a big fucking wall, what kind of signal is that? (We care a lot) but we don't, because we don't want to lose The benefits that we have, we've all paid our dues When it makes the news and you're safe in your own home It's so easy to care, in your own comfort zone So we take what we can get, like it's a natural fact But we don't seem to care enough to give something back Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell We're all cynics at best, we're all under a spell We don't do a thing about it Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope We're all doing our best, we're all trying to cope There's no reason we should doubt it The truth is so plain despite our different names 'Cos at the end of the day we're all really the same Our skin colors may vary, our religion as well But we all want forgiveness, from Heaven or Hell Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell We're all cynics at best, we're all under a spell We don't do a thing about it Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope We're all doing our best, we're all trying to cope There's no reason we should doubt it Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell We're all cynics at best, we're all under a spell We don't do a thing about it Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope We're all doing our best, we're all trying to cope There's no reason we should doubt it
