Down by Law - The Greenest Field lyrics

so where is all this going

does anybody know

shed a thousand tears

but what have we got to show

crime and hate and war

they're still there all around

giving our hearts so long

are we screaming without a sound

are we making a difference

or wasting our time

can you tell me?

Well now I'm getting older

will I ever see

the peace on earth that starts

with you and me

well if all the world's a stage

then I've got my part to play

are we making a difference

or wasting our time

can you tell me?

Is it the greenest field

don't you think it's kind of sick

to lead a pointless life

call yourself a different kind

but do you even try

well I'm not pointing my fingers at you

there's just so much that we can do

and all you can do in life is try

to light up the sky
