Small Muslim children, blown to bits by bombs
But our normal, Western lives go on
We read it in newspapers, we see it on T.V.
But  to us it means nothing
It doesn't affect you or me

Red hot hatred
Red hot sun
Roadside I.E.D.s
But to us it doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't affect you or me

Planes dropping bombs all night, all day
Destroying homes and lives, but what can we say ?
We read it in papers, see it on T.V.
To us it means nothing
It doesn't affect you or me

Young men swearing Jihad
Willing to die for a cause
But we don't understand it
We never will because

To is it means nothing
It doesn't affect you or me
Just something we read in the papers
Or see on T.V.
