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 feeling,
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.

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.
