CONTRAVENE LYRICS

"A World With No Future"

In a world with no future 
And in a time that made no sense 
Existence had stopped and stood still 
Factories pumping the weapons of wartime 
Made with intention to kill 
Now, we're a nuclear wasteland 
A world full of hatred 
We sat and watched it all go by 
News breaking coverage of the people all dying 
And no one ever asked why 
What will we tell the children? 
Will there be any left to hear? 
Will the children be able to listen? 
Or will they all be hiding in fear? 
There's a man on the TV, talking away 
Telling the death toll for today 
But no one is watching 
Nobody is listening 
Cause they've all been taken away 
Stuck in the camps or handed machine guns 
They were told to fight for a cause 
Now they're killing their brothers and they're killing their mothers 
To keep their own lives from being lost. 
Over time, the numbers had increased 
The flesh piles stacked up high 
Nothing will change, unless we are to change it 
And the dying will continue to die 
What will we tell the children? 
Will there be any left to hear? 
Will the children be able to listen? 
Or will they all be hiding in fear? 
What happened to all of the children? 
What stories will we have left to be said? 
How will the children hear them? 
Once all the children are dead........
