let me paint a pretty picture
where children run around drenched in blood
corporations keep getting richer
making money where children should
be playing games and having fun
playing hopscotch
dancing in the sun

let me paint a pretty picture
where children run around drenched blood
halliburtons is getting richer
making money where children should
be playing with friends not a care in the world
playing football
chasing pretty girls

ain't this a pretty picture
where mothers bury their kids every day
their lives aren't getting richer
and still they continue to pray
that a day will come and it will end
when the weapons that kill their kids will be sent away

sent away sent away
sent away sent away
sent away 
sent away

fade away fade away
fade away fade away
fade away
fade away

this world is a pretty picture
