A Line in the Sand

How to stop the murdering?
By now we should have learned
If we don't then we're a sham
Bad overwhelms the good
Bad overwhelms the good

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

What I've seen, yes, it's changed
How I see humankind
I used to think progress was made
We could get something right
We could get something right

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Enough is enough
A line in the sand
Seven or eight thousand people
Killed by hand
They stepped off the edge
They did not step back
If we have not learnt by now
Then we're a sham

When we first got to the camp
Supplies were not enough
I saw a displaced family
Eating a cold horse's hoof
Oh, a cold horse's hoof

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We sent up tents, brought in water
Air drops were dispersed
I saw people kill each other
Just to get there first
Oh, just to get there first

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Enough is enough
A line in the sand
Seven or eight thousand people
Killed by hand
They stepped off the edge
They did not step back
If we have not learnt by now
Then we're a sham

What we did, why we did it?
I make no excuse
We got things wrong but I can say
We also did some good

What we did, why we did it?
I make no excuse
I believe we have a future
To do something good

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
