G / C / Gm / D74
Why won't they level on the threat level? Orange, yellow, red... Is any of it based on "how many dead?" The terrorists can't resist Do you wanna bet on the real threat? Building our castles on the sands of time Building our homes along the shoreline Just expecting everything will be fine How many schools in New Orleans have to be wiped clean? How many schoolchildren in the Philippines have to learn what it means to be buried under mud? How many youth in Africa have to have a machete stained with their blood? We lost our innocence when we lost our innocents An offense that can not be forgiven We claimed our guilt when we lost our innocents No defense can be given First, we induce climate change Then, we put our children in harm's way We don't consider it strange the way we rearrange Our environment How can we claim ignorance as a defense When we knew exactly what we meant This is what we meant to do And, did If we tell what is true... Not a single fib We'll have to admit it -- We lost our innocence when we lost our innocents
