Waking up to a dry land
With empty glasses in their hands
To the bone I see their call
A fate for one and all

Watch relief fall from the sky
Still resources running dry

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

I watched the children cry
No tears within their eyes
Then I ask the reason why
Life seems to be on the slide

Electing one with no feelings
Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

That's what I'd like to know
Cos it's been so long
And it seems to me to be so wrong

Life it's like a ball against the wall
A ball against the wall
If you throw love against the wall
It comes back to you
And if you throw hate against the wall
It's gonna follow you
So what we gonna do to ease the pain
(ease the pain)
(ease the pain)

How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
