Something must be done 
A western face cries from the pages 
See a child with a gun 
The same mistakes run through the ages 

See a bullet burn 
Bought from a country we charge with peace 
Watch the tables turn 
They say they're in the wrong hands but who are we 

Rip it up 
More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are headlines and they won't blow away 
More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are our headlines 
Cause these are all our days 

How many die before we try 
We have the means to end 
A genocide won't turn the tide 
Ignore a continent 

Rip it up 
More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are headlines and they won't blow away 
More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are our headlines 
Cause these are all our days 

So where do we turn To get some truth in it 
A breath of time holds a thousand voices 
Should we get use to it 
When the profits god and war rejoices 
See the pictures run 
Knowing eyes on a ward of death 
They know none return 
We turn the page. shake our heads 

Rip it up 
More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are our headlines and they won't blow away 

More than I can say 
I wanna rip it up 
But these are our headlines 
Cause these are all our days
