Absent Minded

To the U.N

Why must the innocent pay for your decisions
where does it add up when you play god?
back to the meeting of contracts and death
must be i imagine such a depressing existance to know
you lose either way
and no matter what
thousands will die no matter
which way you will whatever domino

Its not the men in the army
playing jkill or be killed you are after for peace
It is not the children without shoes
the photographers are after for a picture
for thousands of dollars they risk their lives for
so their families can dine like kings overseas

Where does it truly add up?
who do you answer to?
who thinks and you act?
Who tell syou what to say and you say it
before you push the button you were supposed to
because it was scripted
and no one knows these facts?

Leaders of the world
why do we play this game of kill or be killed?
why do we raise our children in this survival of the fittest fiasco of belligerance
to one day grow to be a victom of murder
whoever gave the order is a murderer to
no mystery to god
kill or be killed
where does it add up
and like the greed that consumes you
is it getting hot in here?

How come you are paid to get along
but insist on fighting?
why are you not doing your simple job of walking around
travelling schmoozing
and enjoying eachothers diversities and company?
where does it add up world leaders?
who says what?
who flips the switch my monkeys?
what mystery are you trying to create for me to solve
for you to buy everybody more time
in this needless ridiculousness and sufering?

Why are we playing kill or be killed?
why are we obsessed with greed and power?
why are those who are not doing their jobs fired?
why do we reward the world Leaders for their violence and hatred
and reasons to keep this game of how many lives can you destroy?

It must be a hard job
to sit there and lead
to be voted in or born into something
where all you ahve to do is meet
once or twice a year and swallow your pride and get along
and do the right darned thing
im not sure if i could handle it
i have low self esteem

Dear world leaders
where does it add up
I'm soo confused
who is responsible for the wars around the world
and the reason we are playing kill or be killed
and the desperate men who becamew soldiers
to work for training to buy their children clothing like shoes
and their wives food
why must they be victoms one day too?
whose responsible for the call to glory
whose the one who sends them out to war?
whose the one who says ok thats it
its time we organise another godly nightmare to appeaser satan
lets go to another war

Back to the meeting huh
must be tough
to sit there and try to get along
to be paid the big bucks
to have to sit there
and not want to
just up and knock one of them people different than you out
it must be hard to have the easiest job in the world
to be a social butterfly
and just be an easy going person
and be friends with men and women
and work together because this life is tough
it must be hard
im not sure i could do it
i wonder if god knows
where it all adds up?

To the world Leaders
you sit there and vote
and make decisions
dealing in the life and death
of innocent men and women
who believe they are doing the right thing
you would think that with all these toidal waves and earth quakes
and lack of food
we would by now have our plates full and be working together
to help eachother survive since we only live once
but why world leaders
why start soo many wars?
why deal in death?
why make the call to kill another thousand innocent men and women
are you not just paid to get along in the first place
had you have been doing your jobs
war would never have happened.

Must be harder than i thought
to be a world leader
to be respected
even when im angry and mean
must be hard to sit there and make decisions for other people
that dont even concern me
it must be tough to play god all the time
with no object to ever crave
but thirteen days of hollow are coming
and death has a lawayer
and im helping him with his case
he wants to know why it adds up this way
and why what is happening is taking place

so go ahead and play god
its no mystery to me
he will be here soon
with a brief case and his lunchbox
and lost in a world he is out to sue reasonably
a reprimand from an everlasting life dear judge my lord
and a vacation he wants
and a prophet as a friend that has tricks up his sleeves

so tell me please world leaders
before i give it all away in this court of law before the divine
why are we still playing kill or be killed
and not paying attention to the thou shalt not?
why are you getting carried away in organizing mass murders and plots
for deaths work load to be a burden

hes on his way
a chance for a vacation
and right now
im in no mood to tell you
how to keep him around
here for longer than thirteen days it will take him to win his case
and in everlasting life many will pay the price
for god is fair
and the lawyer knows something dear mayor
dear bride

How does it add up world leaders
who isnt doing their job?
who cant get along?
and who is throwing around what weapon?
who ordered what tank?
and what bombs?
He will be here early
but will show up late
a lunch bag and a briefcase
and a prophet out to trick fate
good luck world leaders
i feel sorry for you already

Just do the right thing and get along
for the thirteen days of hollow the lawyer is asking for
is not something
any of you want for anyone
