I've walked on mountains, I've walked over graves
I've stepped in rivers that bear the wrong name
And now I see the same old tale taking a new shape
The places are all different but the faces are the same
I can't remember the turn of the century
But I've seen thousands crushed by diplomacy
Poison in my father's blood is now running in me
It's about damn time we kill these ghosts
From the river to the sea
When you're older, will you tell the story
Of empire and all of its glory?
Will you tell your children you're the reason
That they get to be free?
When the blood stops flowing to your big head
Will your legacy haunt them from the dead?
Will you wash your hands and stop the bleeding
From the river to the sea?
I go walking in the sunshine while the missiles fall
I realize that the choice is mine
They could kill us all
From our rivers to our seas
We're drowning in our leaders' greed
Allowing each atrocity
Until we rise up against
From our rivers to our seas
We don't live in democracy
What has a ballot done for me?
It's time for what's next
I've stepped in rivers that bear the wrong name
And now I see the same old tale taking a new shape
The places are all different but the faces are the same
I can't remember the turn of the century
But I've seen thousands crushed by diplomacy
Poison in my father's blood is now running in me
It's about damn time we kill these ghosts
From the river to the sea
When you're older, will you tell the story
Of empire and all of its glory?
Will you tell your children you're the reason
That they get to be free?
When the blood stops flowing to your big head
Will your legacy haunt them from the dead?
Will you wash your hands and stop the bleeding
From the river to the sea?
I go walking in the sunshine while the missiles fall
I realize that the choice is mine
They could kill us all
From our rivers to our seas
We're drowning in our leaders' greed
Allowing each atrocity
Until we rise up against
From our rivers to our seas
We don't live in democracy
What has a ballot done for me?
