Handicapped Earth
Can you see my arms
 They're bolted and dead
 from all the busy work of fixing
 and mending what people said
 Can you see my eyes
 jeopardized by lazer lights
 of soldiers hunting the dead
 Can you see my nails
 gray from weariness of digging
 all the tombs in Darfur
 Can you see my life
 plastered with artificial glue
 as if it would hold
  
 Handicapped
 I am
 I can't live a day
 (can't live a day)
 without a bomb (some heart) exploding
  
 Handicapped 
 I am
 The helplessness is murdering me
 when I look for my hands
 and see them do nothing
  
 Where was everyone (gone)
 They're looking for that utopia, dreams
 but why now
 do they have to trespass on another
 lady's land
 Why now do battles appear
 on blessed land
  
 When did all this start
 When can all this end
 When will you unconditionally hold
 my hands----------

 Nothing... (2x)
  
 Is it true
 Is it real
 Does it, my skin
 the hide human beings possess
 have to be 
 the vacant desert
 dead and rotting
 for the world to hold its toxic
 breath
  
 Is that really the only time
 of peace?
 it that how stories must end?
 Can't it be a fairy tale
 where the princess elopes with the prince?
  
 Can it (until the song fades)
