Amos Lee Jails And Bombs Lyrics

Jails And Bombs Lyrics

The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation

Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation

Now all I seem to see is all this war and goin' amongst our nation

What good will it do?



Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation

Forever reading on and on from Genesis to Revelation

But never stopping for a second to examine the situation

After all that we've been through



And will it only end

When there's nothing left to defend?

Will we ever see, yeah

A common bond of humanity?



I get a landscape of famine and also of frustration

With children walking 'round without the proper means to education

And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all of this legislation

For jails and bombs



So anybody out there hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer

Anybody out there hear my prayer



We need all of you'll back and down here

We need all of you'll back and down here

We need all of you'll back and down here
