Sometimes it makes me wonder
d5 c5 d5
Sometimes it makes me question
E5 c5
Sometimes it makes me saddened
d5 b5 d5
Always it makes me angry but
E5 c5
When you can see it happening
d5 c5 d5
The madness that's all around you
E5 c5
Nobody seens to worry
d5 b5 d5
The World seens so powerless to act

It's out of control
Blood on The World's hands
Each day a new toll
Verse 2:
Another assassination
The same day a new creation
But what are they coming into
Security of a world that brings ...
One day another killing
Somewhere there's someone starving
Another a savage raping
Meanwhile there's someone laughing at us
Chorus

Verse 3
Brutality and aggression
Tomorrow another lesson
Expecting another air raid
Praying for a ceasefire ...
They say things are getting better
No need to be complacent
There's chaos across the border
And one day it could be happening to us
Chorus ( 2 times ):
It's out of control
Blood in The World's hands
It's our epitaph
It's out of control
Someone should know
Blood on The World's hands
Someone should
