Lyrics
A little girl cries next door
I just wanna hold her hand
Sometimes it gets so tough
With my head buried in the sand
And every day more people die
Walk away, avert their eyes
As the death clock ticks, the trigger clicks
Beaten with a crucifix
Bulletproof lies, family ties
Which one's right?
No-one's wise, in a world that lies
Walk away, tomorrow's another day
Walk away, why not let it fade away?
Walk away, tomorrow's another day
Walk away, the problem will fade away...
A little boy boy cries next door
I just wanna hold his hand
Sometimes it gets so hard
With my head buried in the sand
The Holy squad is filled with hate
Terror strikes Jo Public's fate
TV blood, a crime rate vote
Politics and a suicide note
Who is right or what is good?
Earth and water, flesh and blood...
... We'd help if we could...
Chorus
Don't look back keep walking x2
Don't look up
Don't look down
Just keep on walking away
