Captured in Arms

The days were long and the world was mad
There’s poison in the water dumbing us down
There’s men with guns loose on the town
Nobody can stand up, no-one can get up
And it breaks my heart
It tears it all apart
And it turns me blue
I beg you
Please don’t kill my friends anymore
Seems money has the means to rise above
Maybe you can really buy love
And bigotry is still trying t fly
But I say live and let racism die
‘Cause it breaks my heart
It tears it all apart
And it turns me blue
I beg you
Please don’t kill my friends anymore
