Lyrics

Driven to tears (25 years)

How can you say that you're not responsible?                                                                 What does it have to do with me?                                                                                       What is my reaction, what should it be?                                                                  Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat

My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party

Seems that when some innocent die

All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine

Too many cameras and not enough food

Because this is what we've seen

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through

What's to become of our world, who knows what to do?

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears

Driven to tears
