Lyrics
In the cold of winter time,
When the poor are left out of Christmas store lines
Rage battles far away,
For Christ's sake barbed wire was strung in their hair, in their hair
The Salvation Army Band played,
While children threw hand grenades
We dig ditches for ourselves
For ourselves
In living rooms with TV glare,
We stare at the screen with our culture blank stare
Rage battles far away,
For Christ's sake will anyone be left to save, from their grave?
The Salvation Army Band played,
While children threw hand grenades
We dig ditches for ourselves
For ourselves,
For ourselves,
For ourselves
