Lyrics

AMBER WAVES OF SHAME

I wonder what our lord would say
Bout what?s going on today
How we preach to love thy neighbor
Then kill each other every day

We should be stewards of this earth we?re on
Cause we?re only passing through
But each day we do more damage
Till there?s no more damage left to do

And I wonder when we?ll make a change
I wonder if that day will come
And I wonder if we?ve gone too far
I wonder if we?re really done

So I wake up every morning
To these amber waves of shame
And I wonder what we?re doing here
Why we think it?s just a game

I wonder what our lord would say
Bout what?s going on today
How we preach to love thy neighbor
Then kill each other every day

We should be stewards of this earth we?re on
Cause we?re only passing through
But each day we do more damage
Till there?s no more damage left to do

And I wonder when we?ll make a change
I wonder if that day will come
And I wonder if we?ve gone too far
I wonder if we?re really done

So I wake up every morning
To these amber waves of shame
And I wonder what we?re doing here
Why we think it?s just a game

So I go to bed each evening
In the twilights last gleaming
And I wake up the next morning
As the world around us screams
Yeah I wake up every morning
To these amber waves of shame
