Shelter

I turned on the TV today
Many men quickly pointing
To the one to blame
Nowhere to run to
Even worse if we stay
Why don’t we worry about what’s on our plate
And not a culture that may never change

(chorus)
I’m building a shelter for you and me
And when the time comes we’ll be ready to flee
In a world where cruelty rest on our head seat
They may never find us down in this shelter
Below 12 feet

One by one they send us
Over the great blue to the east
To restore freedom to a country that has never been free
I find it strange they try to change
And create a world of choice
Once again they take our lives to change a world by using force

I picked up the telephone last night
My baby told me the worlds crumbling with fright
And I said hope is all we’ve got to hang on
I’m not trying to convince you of what’s wrong or right
I just want you to think

I just want you to think
I just want you to think
