Why They Sleep?

Why they sleep when the world burns down? Blood on soil, nobody make a sound Peace talks, bullshit, selling souls for comfort While my people bleed, they count their profit Friends turn blind when power calls their name Same white faces playing the same game Threw us under, said it's for the greater good Tell me how you sleep inside your neighborhood Why they sleep, why they sleep when we die? Why they sleep, why they sleep, tell me why? Talking peace while the bombs still drop Your silence loud when the killing don't stop Comfortable lies, comfortable life While mothers cry, you avoiding the strife Used to call you brother, now I see the truth Money talks louder than the pain of youth Europe clean while we drown in red Tell me what's the price of sleeping sound in bed Why they sleep, why they sleep when we die? Why they sleep, why they sleep, tell me why? Check your hands, check your heart When did caring fall apart? Bus wheels rolling over dreams Nothing ever what it seems Friend, you changed, or maybe I just see it clear Your priorities shift when death ain't near Safe in towers, making calculated moves While the ground shakes under combat boots White guilt temporary, your comfort permanent My people die, you call it an accident So I ask again, before I cut the ties How do you live with your compromise? Why they sleep, why they sleep when we die? Why they sleep, why they sleep, tell me why?
