Picking Up the Pieces
War torn battlefields
Political flop
Who'll pick up the pieces
When they've taken what they've got?
Blood thirsty animals
Scavengers at dawn
Who'll pick up the pieces
When everything is gone?
Disease, decay, rotting flesh
Not a word being said
Who'll pick up the pieces
When everything is dead?
