World Wide Suicide -- Pearl Jam



I felt the earth on Monday  It moved beneath my feet  In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see  I saw his face in the corner picture  I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the  Face I'd never see again

It's a shame to awake, in a world of pain  What does it mean when war has taken over?
It's the same every day in a hell man-made  What can be saved, and who will be left
to hold her? The whole world. World Over   Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

Medals on a wooden mantle  Next to a handsome face  That the president took for granted
Writing checks that others pay  And in all the madness  Thought becomes numb and naive
So much to talk about and  Nothing for them to say

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break  Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder  Laying claim to the take that soldiers save
Tell them to quit it, the truth's already out there
The whole world.  World Over.  Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
Looking in the eyes of the fallen  You got to know there is another, another, another, another, another...Way

It's a shame to awake,in a world aflame  What does it mean when war has taken over?
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
The whole world...World Over.  It's a world wide suicide

 The lyrics for "World Wide Suicide" depict anger against the war in Iraq, and criticize the US government in a subtle manner.                                                                             (wikipedia)
