Lyrics
All I hear are peace talks and battle cries
Everyone's losing - nobody's winning
So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning
Pictures of the crippled - wounded on the frontline
Someone else's problem - you're sitting on a landmine
When will we see reason? sometimes I think we'll never
Learn that children have the right to laugh - and dying is forever
All I hear are peace talks and battle cries
No time for laughter - we're too busy dying
In this 'devil's playground' - bullets are flying
There's another star in heaven - and footprints on the moon
So ignore the reign of terror - the bloody red monsoon
Neighbour fighting neighbour - oh see how quick they run
To tear down the white flag and pick up the gun
Peace talks and battle cries - apathy can kill
Put a price on human life - pay 'the butcher's bill'
Everybody's losing - nobody's winning
Run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning
Hear my prayer from the valley of the shadow -
For a child in an unmarked grave
Take my hand in the hour of darkness -
While there's someone left to save
But you can't hear me - all you can hear are..
Peace talks and battle cries - apathy can kill
Put a price on human life - pay 'the butcher's bill'
No time for laughter - we're too busy dying
In this 'devil's playground' where bullets are flying
I think about the children who have no hopes or homes
Born into a battlfield - war's all they've ever known
Neighbour loving neighbour - will that day ever come
When we shake hands in friendship and survey the damage done
All I hear are peace talks and battle cries
Everyone's losing - nobody's winning
So run for your lives when the shrapnel's spinning
Hear my prayer from the valley of the shadow -
For a child in an unmarked grave
Take my hand in the hour of darkness -
While there's someone left to save
Why won't you help me?
Why can't you hear me?
