The song came to me while watching the news when the war in Syria started. It seemed to me that no one was really paying attention..."Ah, well, another war in an Arab country. When's dinner?"

Get up, lie down. There's nobody there.
They burned the town, tho no one seemed to care.
Legions marching to the sea,
Politicians on TV,
Doesn't matter all that much to me or you.

Move on, stand still, shuffle down the street.
Give birth and kill,
There's not enough to eat.
Slaughter houses in the sun,
Ghosts of memories on the run
Apocalypse has just begun today.

Legions marching to the sea,
Politicians on TV,
Doesn't matter all that much to me or you.

Get up, stand down
'Cause there's nobody there;
You're gonna drown,
Though there's no lack of air.
Different time in another place
Would you recognize her face?
Did you see how much was wasted there?

Get up, lie down
