Down By Law

so where is all this going
does anybody know
shed a thousand tears
but what have we got to show
crime and hate and war
they're still there all around
giving our hearts so long
are we screaming without a sound
are we making a difference
or wasting our time
can you tell me?
Well now I'm getting older
will I ever see
the peace on earth that starts
with you and me
well if all the world's a stage
then I've got my part to play
are we making a difference
or wasting our time
can you tell me?
Is it the greenest field
don't you think it's kind of sick
to lead a pointless life
call yourself a different kind
but do you even try
well I'm not pointing my fingers at you
there's just so much that we can do
and all you can do in life is try
to light up the sky
