where there's an aircraft down

there'll be casualties from some english town

there's always an african war

leading to one vote

they've killed a woman who dressed like a man

a city is under mud

but it's ok

there's no television blood

in the face of all of this

what troubles do you and i possess?

ah

in the face of all of this

our troubles are easy to resist

and the toll is climbing high

ah

in the face of all of this

what troubles do you and i possess?

in the face of all of this

our troubles are easy to resist

what troubles do you and i possess?
