A song about violence, about the inanimate objects humans use for violence ("these are things, all made by man, can't act until guided by a hand") & about a hope for people ("it's up to us to find a better way"). A timely anti-violence discourse.

Lyrics
A gun don't have a face
a bullet ain't got a name
a blade not a thought
all ends the same
Tanks don't have a care
plane ain't got a mind
bomb don't have a soul
nothing there to find
All of these are made by man
Can't act until guided by a hand
Taking lives every minute of the day
It's up to us to find a better way
Rope don't have a brain
sword ain't got an arm
club don't have a pulse
will we take a stand?
Drone can't feel a thing
grenades don't have a heart
rifles got no eyes
let's make a new start
All of these are made by man
Can't act until guided by a hand
Taking lives every minute of the day
It's up to us to find a better way
All of these are made by man
Can't act until guided by a hand
Taking lives every minute of the day
It's up to us to find a better way
It's up to us to find a better way
Up to us to find a better way
