I hear you praying with your hands clasped over your chest
I hear men slaying while they say "keep doing your best"
I hear the laughter of someone up above
Who's playing games in the name of love
I hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
I see people dying in the blood and the dust
And the gunshots of vicious murderous lust
I feel the sunshine as it heats up my blood
I feel it burning like my hate if I could
I hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
I hear the silence of a kid's suicide
Who couldn't find any place he could hide
I hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
I hear the chang ring as it hits your steel tills
And all the loving you save for your dollar bills
I hear my heart beat as I talk to myself
I'm just statistics to help you add to your wealth
I hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
