Liberia

Shaping the world
Into madness, into self-destruction,
Waiting for the light
To shine right through,
Soldiers and civilians
At the frontline,
Hole on to something,
Make peace with yourself,
This place is going to blow.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.

The darkness in today's life,
Warped up in your mind,
Explosions in the sky,
Everything melting till everything's flat,
Rebellion and glory,
To fit in each others harmony,
Disintegration and power,
Leaving everyone behind.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.

A struggle in the homeland,
A needle in the vein,
Poverty populating,
The clock ticking down,
Monuments exploding,
And their hearts imploding,
Hijack the system,
Others planting bombs.

Smile, laugh,
And watch it all fall apart,
Hide, you pray,
And you'll watch it all fall apart.
