Songtext zu 'Consequences' von Amy Martin

It's harder to fix something than it is to break it
It's harder to give a life than it is to take it
It's harder to think it through
Than to just do what you want to do
With no regard for the consequences
It's harder to feed a child than it is to starve it
It's harder to stop a war than it is to start it
It's harder to see the truth
Than to just buy the lies they feed you
But these things have their consequences
In the hallowed halls of power
Right at this very hour
They are shaking the dice of the future
When they're through with the game
That they play in our name
We'll be left to deal with the consequences
It's harder to stand on your feet than it is to lie down
It's harder to meet them in the eye
Than to just stare at the ground
And it's harder to see
Who's the ends and who's the means
If you don't think about the consequences
In the hallowed halls of power
Right at this very hour
They are shaking the dice of the future
When they're through with the game
That they play in our name
We'll be left to deal with the consequences
It's harder to sing it out than to be silenced
It's harder to work for peace
Than to go numb to the violence
It's harder to keep hope alive
Than to just give up and step aside
But these things have their consequences
We've got to storm the halls of power
Right at this very hour
We've got to wake them up
And make them take notice
We will not lend our strength
To leaders who refuse to think
Of the weight of the consequences
