Countries are made up of states
which are made up of towns
which are made up of streets
which are made up by people
like you and me, people like you and me.
The earth it is made up of countries at war,
and little boys and little girls so hungry and poor.
cause dinosaur bones somewhere under our feet have melted to gold
and it's lining the streets.
tv screens lay a curtain in front of our eyes,
make the bad seem so much worse
and the good seem just 'alright',
but we're starting to peel back dead skin now to see
that everything we know ain't as simple as it seems
and the haze of yesterday's just a smile in your sleep,
when the government was good and your prayers weren't weak,
when everything was beautiful and nothing hurt,
and repeat VHS tapes were gospel and liturgy
Countries are made up of states
which are made up of towns
which are made up of streets
which are made up by people
like you and me, people like you and me.
