So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold, steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

So, do you think we can change,
Everybody that hates,
Before it's too late.
So proud to be free,
But who can we blame?
Don't be ashamed,
Do you think we can change?

How I wish,
How I wish you were here,
We're a world of lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year.
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears,
Wish you were here.

We don't need,
Need any more pain.
We just need to remain on the very same page,
So much to gain.
No more losing a friend,
We're losing ourselves.
We just need your help,
So glad you're here.

So glad you're here.

This song was sung by Fred Durst and Johnny Reznik during the America - A Tribute to Heroes telecast. The words were changed a bit from the original for the 9/11 victims, almost three years later this song still resonates, only this time I read these words and I think of the troops and the victims of Iraq.

This war is crap and everyday I get more and more afraid that Bush is going to win.

Message to Bush: We don't need, need any more pain.
