Lyrics
You walk the streets of desolation
Where its an eye for an eye
You feed the hungry minds with anger
Two wrongs don't make a right
You live in walls that can't protect you
When your neighbors out to get you
Theres no place that you can hide
Theres no place you can hide
Why are the soldiers dying
In the streets of Babylon
The Code of Hammurabi
The rules are set in stone
Why are these children fighting
When they should all just be at home
Instead the world is frightening
Why can't we all just get along
Why can't we all just get along
You breathe the air of mass destruction
As it settles to the ground
You sleep in shelters made of armor
As the bombs come crashing down
You pray for peace but look around you
Does anybody really care
Is this a world that wants to share
Does anybody care
Why are the soldiers dying
In the streets of Babylon
The Code of Hammurabi
The rules are set in stone
Why are these children fighting
When they should all just be at home
Instead the world is frightening
Why can't we all just get along
Why can't we all just get along
The code of Hammurabi
The rules are set in stone
Thou shall do to others, what has been done to them
To witness destruction, can never be erased
Your soul is forever, embedded in the shame
Unless we change patterns, and stop this, whose to blame
