Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. - I Could Build You A Tower

You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain

On the television screens and the newspaper headlines

we read today

There's a war going on in the middle east and the fallout

affects us all

but nobody out there's prepared to talk

There's a war going on on our own front door

step with the Jews and Islam-aphoebes

because every time a bomb

goes off we get religious probes

There will always be

extremists acting in their names of god

But the gods they worship will never hear them call

I could build you a tower

I could set you apart from all

the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

but they'll only burn it down

There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon

with a rifle in his hands

his parents betray his innocence

as he's old enough to be a man

as a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds

into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground

The waters rise to enormous heights off

the coast of North Korea

with all the weapons testing our worlds investing

in nuclear fear

I'm counting down the days until this earth destroys itself

through our ignorance gluteny and wealth

I could build you a tower

I could set you apart from all

the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

but they'll only burn it down

I could build you a tower

I could set you apart from all

the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

I could build you a tower

but they'll only burn it down
