The Struggle

from Civilis by Hugh Wilson

/

lyrics

I've got a problem the planetary statement
Where violence is a logical replacement
The weaker man puts the gun in his hand to your head
Who pulls the trigger when he should have said "peace"

The struggle is a muddle in your head when you struggle with the free

I got a problem with the dirty old man
Who straps a bomb to a child in another land
To afraid to go and do the dirty work himself
Promising rewards as another life's put on the shelf
How I see it is if you're the invader
You gotta live with the consequences made from
Stealing other's land building castles in the sand
Pouring pools of blood like a flood through the promised land

It's typically convenient to look at history
Through the lens of a short term memory
The problem didn't start back in 1945
It's going on since the love of money was alive

The struggle is a muddle in your head when you struggle with the free

Until you love your children more than you hate
Perpetuated death is a certain fate
It's not enough to change an external situation
Change in perspective is the key to restoration

The struggle is a muddle in your head when you struggle with the free
