Chorus:
We got smart bombs, and dumb politicians
Smart bombs and dumb politicians
Scattergun strategies deployed with precision
Smart bombs - and dumb politicians
We got taller buildings but shorter tempers
We got more possessions but less that's precious
We got wider freeways but narrower vision
And 200 channels full of rubbish on our televisions
We've conquered outer space, but not the space within
We talk so much, we seldom listen
We got muzak everywhere we go when what we need is silence
We got people making war to rid the world of violence
Chorus
We're information rich, but understanding poor
There's so much food, but more starving that ever before
We got poor rich kids who starve themselves for fashion
We got more computers, but less compassion
We got bigger cities but more who feel alone
We got fancy houses but broken homes
We've got leaders who think you get peace by making war
Instead of surprise and wonder, we got shock and awe
Chorus
We got smart bombs, and dumb politicians
Smart bombs and dumb politicians
Scattergun strategies deployed with precision
Smart bombs - and dumb politicians
We got taller buildings but shorter tempers
We got more possessions but less that's precious
We got wider freeways but narrower vision
And 200 channels full of rubbish on our televisions
We've conquered outer space, but not the space within
We talk so much, we seldom listen
We got muzak everywhere we go when what we need is silence
We got people making war to rid the world of violence
Chorus
We're information rich, but understanding poor
There's so much food, but more starving that ever before
We got poor rich kids who starve themselves for fashion
We got more computers, but less compassion
We got bigger cities but more who feel alone
We got fancy houses but broken homes
We've got leaders who think you get peace by making war
Instead of surprise and wonder, we got shock and awe
