The song Picture This is performed by 98 Mute .
Everyday a battle is fought
Today I was reminded somehow I had forgot
Everyday a lesson is taught
Real estateâs important and human life is not
Is all of this bloodshed worth an outdated plan laid by ancient hands
Such a crucial piece of earth
Take a look again itâs a f**king piece of dirt
Can anyone show me whatâs wrong with this picture?
Something definitely looks out of place to me
Itâs clearly out of focus somebody broke us
But hereâs where the joke is nobody provoked us
Weâre broken and no oneâs to blame but us ourselves and we
We canât agree so we war egos declare young soldier be scared
But what are we fighting for
Something thatâs nothing that we can afford
We glory ourselves in our past âthe rockets red glare the bombs bursting in airâ
We fly our flags at half mast
Itâs hard to take pride in young wasted lives
Picture this a world where governments are more concerned with feeding the people than their egos
Picture this a world where borders are mere lines on a map not symbols of economic gaps
Picture this respect on a grander scale respect for human rights
Picture this a world where thereâs no need to write songs like this
Can anyone out there help fix this picture
Who can make the world a better place to be
Weâve got one chance letâs take it the worldâs what we make it
If weâre going to change it we canât be complacent
The future of the world is up to us ourselves and we
