I read it in the paper, I see it on TV
"Hate" written on the frontpage, blood running down the screen
Another dude is lying - Pretending everything's alright
While innocents keep dying and children learn to fight

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

I'm ready to surrender
My head bangs against a wall
The small fist in my pocket
Won't change the world at all
I feel alone and helpless
My ideals fade away
Trust and hope is gone
And there's jsut one thing left to say

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
But I don't wanna give up
So I'll speak up to you
"Together we can change it
Believe in me it's true"
Stand up and join the good side
I try to make you understand
The only thing that stops me
Is that bullet in my hand

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?

21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?
