about

Wars are being fought all over the world. As a “Western” nation we sometimes pick a side too easily. We should be more critical about our own part in the processes behind these wars.

lyrics

On the outside – you can’t see the insides.
On the outside - you can’t see what’s inside.
What would you do if they’d come for you?

And in this fight all rights are gone-
But where do we belong?
Could it be that we are wrong?
We’ve been sent to break their spirits-
We’ve been hit to test our “faith”
A chain reaction that goes on and on and on.

And thousands die under eastern suns-
All sides but blinded by western promises.
Do we feed their cause by dropping bombs?
Aren’t we the ones who gave them their guns?

On the outside – always on the outside.
On the outside – blinded for what’s inside!
What would you do if they’d come for you?
What would you do – if they did that to you?

Where in hell do we belong?
