[00:13.59]You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain
[00:18.58]On the television screens and the newspaper headlines
[00:21.61]we read today
[00:22.67]
[00:23.99]There's a war going on in the middle east and the fallout
[00:27.88]affects us all
[00:28.82]
[00:29.93]but nobody out there's prepared to talk
[00:33.05]
[00:37.67]There's a war going on on our own front door 
[00:40.16]step with the Jews and Islam-aphoebes
[00:43.51]because every time a bomb
[00:45.11]goes off we get religious probes
[00:49.02]There will always be
[00:50.23]extremists acting in their names of god
[00:54.65]But the gods they worship will never hear them call
[00:57.82]
[01:03.65]I could build you a tower
[01:07.07]I could set you apart from all
[01:09.49]the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart
[01:20.60][01:17.98][01:14.97]I could build you a tower
[01:23.53]but they'll only burn it down
[01:36.83]
[01:41.00]There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon
[01:44.00]with a rifle in his hands
[01:46.95]his parents betray his innocence
[01:48.59]as he's old enough to be a man
[01:52.20]as a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds
[01:57.90]into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground
[02:01.05]
[02:05.74]The waters rise to enormous heights off
[02:09.35]the coast of North Korea
[02:11.71]with all the weapons testing our worlds investing
[02:14.50]in nuclear fear
[02:17.04]I'm counting down the days until this earth destroys itself
[02:22.89]through our ignorance gluteny and wealth
[02:26.02]
[03:41.00][02:32.01]I could build you a tower
[03:43.98][02:35.18]I could set you apart from all
[03:46.90][02:37.54]the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart
[03:57.98][03:55.02][03:52.39][02:49.00][02:45.94][02:43.16]I could build you a tower
[04:00.46][02:51.32]but they'll only burn it down
