I'm just a white girlnFrom a small, safe townnWhat could I possibly know about destruction?nMy lawn sure looks green todaynUnderneath these suburban skiesnnBut the little boy next doornWants to be the Lord of the FliesnnIt's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrificenAnd I have to believe that God has closed his eyesnAnd if there is no Avalon and we only have one lifenIt's hard to conceive why we let our brothers diennMy bed is so safe herenAnd my rose-colored glasses, they're brokennAnd how the truth leaks innAnd I, I can't imaginenI saw it on the news tonightnThat they'd announce his namenI saw the blood on his handsnAnd they told me to look awaynnI tell ya it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrificenAnd I have to believe that God has closed his eyesnAnd if there is no Avalon and we only have one lifenIt's hard to conceive why we let our sisters diennWhy, why?nWhy?nIt's a confusing civilization, darlingnnI tell ya It's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrificenAnd I have to believe that God has closed his eyesnAnd if there is no Avalon and we only have one lifenIt's hard to conceive why we let our people dienWe let 'em dienAnd watch them die.
