Lyrics

It seems to me
We've got a situation here
A wrench has fallen in the gears
Or we threw it there ourselves,
It's not too clear

It's a primal and an ancient fear
And we hold it close and we hold it dear
And it steers us clear of bliss
Toward that great abyss in tears

So we meet our neighbors on the battlefield
With rattled swords and battered shields, it begins
And we'll blame it on our differences
But it's indifference and persistent sins we wield
In the end

And all the souls that paid the cost
We have forgotten you
Just like we did the last time we swore not to
"But it's not the same this time around
Times have changed and we've just got to go"
We've got a situation here

It seems to me
We've got a situation here
A wrench has fallen in the gears
Or we threw it there ourselves,
It's not too clear

It seems to me
We've got a situation here
We dream, but we still wake up here
Where might is right. It's quite a sight
We can't see

So we meet our neighbors on the battlefield
With rattled swords and battered shields, it begins
And we'll blame it on our differences
But it's indifference and persistent sins we wield
Again and again
