The camera at the bus stop watches people from afar It is watching Mr Mani in his chauffeur-driven car With his cell-phone and his laptop, he is planning out the day Moving money round the world he'll make ten grand before midday There's a guy in Nike T-shirt stands outside a betting shop He waits for it to open before rushing to his job He's praying that a horse will win at odds of eight-to-one It might pay off some interest or buy his kids some fun Why can't we see what we're doing Why can't we see what we've done On a bench there is a pensioner who tells his dog to sit He is thinking of old friends who once worked down a pit He remembers all the songs they sang while digging out the coal And church on every Sunday as they prayed to save their souls The camera sees a mum with babe entering a shop As she struggles with the pushchair the crying will not stop She gives the baby dummy but the baby throws it out So she gives the kid a lollipop before she starts to shout Why can't we see what we're doing Why can't we see what we've done There's a war going on in this world that we are living There's a war going on and someone's gotta lose There's a war going on 'cos some people just ain't giving There's a war going on and it isn't in the news The camera sees a young man with a guitar on a mat He's asking for donations to be dropped into a hat He is dreaming he'll be famous, a rock-star millionaire Or sleep in a real bed tonight and get to wash his hair The camera sees a schoolgirl who is chatting to her brother They missed the bus they needed so they're waiting for another She wants to be a doctor or solicitor at least He says he will be happy with the army or police Why can't we see what we're doing Why can't we see what we've done There's a war going on in this world that we are living There's a war going on and someone's gotta lose There's a war going on 'cos some people just ain't giving There's a war going on and it isn't in the news There's a war going on. There's a war going on It's later in the day and the camera still looks down Everyone's been talking about the incident in town At the sign of the bus stop some flowers have been tied In memory of someone who's unfortunately died Why can't we see what we're doing Why can't we see what we've done There's a war going on in this world that we are living There's a war going on and someone's gotta pay There's a war going on 'cos some people just ain't giving There's a war going on, it's happening here today Who started the war brother? Was it your dad or your stressed out mother Was it your kid sister reading all her mags, or was it your kid brother smoking funny fags Was it the gambler walking down your road, or Mr Mani gambling gold Was it the old miner taking tourists down his mine Was it the busker trying to find his rhyme Was it you praying life'll be good While you're lying in the morgue covered in your blood There's a war going on in this world that we are living (Hey yes, in this world we are living in) There's a war going on and someone's gotta pay (People are fighting, someone's gotta pay) There's a war going on 'cos some people just ain't giving (War going on, cos some people just ain't giving) There's a war going on, it's happening here today (And it's happening here today) There's a war going on in this world that we are living (War's going on, people living here) There's a war going on and someone's gotta pay (Are suffering cos someone's gotta pay) There's a war going on 'cos some people just ain't giving (Yes, capitalists, they take all your money) There's a war going on, it's happening here today (Yes, today)
