sinking deeper in the mud

another day another morning's news
the stories change yet stay the same
we cannot walk a yard in others' shoes

the tales of deaths explosions other views
remind us that we must spread the blame
another day another morning's news

what if one day we should combined refuse
continuing the same old weary game
we cannot walk a yard in others' shoes

we smile and laugh but still pretend to choose
the road to justice not the one to shame
another day another morning's news

a bomb explodes but we didn't light the fuse
we set the fire but now deny the flame
we cannot walk a yard in others' shoes

what we call freedom's now a lady of the stews
we give the wretched bombers greater fame
another day another morning's news
we cannot walk a yard in others' shoes
