lyrics

Black smoke hits and rises
The runways and the ports
Building up an island
Effectively confined
And sitting half a world away
The unaware and all the blind
Told events of yesterday
Through the medias design

Staring at the headlines
And drifting through my thoughts
Praying that you’re home safe and sound
And that the kids are all, all right
Finding out you’re trapped and bound
Strikes deep into my heart
And sitting half a world away
Is everyone calling you home

We are all half a world away
We've only got half a world to waste

Assuring us that everything is fine
The medals and the ties
They sit at home rehearsing all their lines
They prepare to tell the world
They say it with conviction
And expect you to ease up
A world driven by hate and love
Slowly wasting away

We are all half a world away
We've only got half a world to waste

We are all half a world away
We've only got half a world to waste
