Are We Civilised?

from Surprise Baby by Snippet aka Johnno Casson

/

lyrics

No one wants to wait cause no ones got the time
Everybody’s beautiful and everybody’s fake
You don’t need to tell a lie it’s written on your face
We don’t have a perfect world
We are the human race
Oh I wanted to believe you and I want to hear you case
Felt like smoke and mirrors felt like saving face
I’m worried for our future
For our hearts and minds
Do we walk with open eyes or do we walk in blind?

Are we civilised? We can’t fix the world with bombs
Are we civilised? We can’t heal the world with bombs

The worlds gone mad, hear them sigh
The worlds gone mad, hear them crying
Time enough is time is time enough

Oh we’ve lost the faith and boy we’ve lost the plot
Everybody’s cynical about everything they’re not
Oh I’ve had enough of fighting, I’ve had enough of fear
I’ve had enough religion just get me out of here
I’ve had enough of people stuck up their own arse
All these politicians not learning from the past

Are we civilised? We won’t fix the world with bombs
Are we civilised? We won’t heal the world with bombs

Through luck or planned we wait for news to land
For good or bad, through gritted teeth
Don’t know the cost, prepare to hear of loss
God speed my friend, we’ll never learn, we’ll never learn

Are we civilised? I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know anymore
Are we civilised? I just don’t know anymore, I just don’t know
