This is one of Linkin Park's new songs from "minutes to midnight"


It seems to be about the war in iraq.

I think it's really good and touchs me because I know people who have gone out to war :(

Lyrics:
Turn my mic up louder I got to say somethin
Lightweights step to the side when we comin
Feelin in your chest the syllables get pumpin
People on the street panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheets complete comin
I jump on my mind some of the rhyme I'm dumpin
Feelin the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum in
Jump when tell us they want to see jumpin
**** that I want to see some fists pumpin
Here's somethin, Take back what's yours
Say somethin they might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being like I had before
Like a stupid standin for I'm standin for
Like this war is just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't catter to the rich and abondon poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in the tank
These ****ers are laughin the way to the bank
And cashin the check
askin you to have a passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious ways
Suttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world at the end of the day
In the living room laughing like what did he say?


Amen (x5)


In my living room watching
I am not laughin
Cause when it gets tense
I know what might happen
World is cold
Bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
Tell ya there's somethin to see
Another kid my age
Bound under the tree
I wonder if he had thought that could me
Do you see the soldiers out today
That brush the dust with bullet proof vests away
It's ironic
At times like this you pray
But the mosque was blown up yesterday
There's bombs in the busses, bikes, roads
Inside markets, shops, closed
My dad has a lot of fear I know
But he's got a lot of pride inside
Not to let that show
My brother had a book he's hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine
On the back he hand wrote a quote inside
when the rich wage war it's the poor that die
Meanwhile the leader just talks away
Suttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world at the end of the day
Both scared and angry like what did he say?


Amen (x5)


Amen (x12)
(With hands held high until the skies are blue as the ocean opens up to swallow you) (x4)
 
Cause I'm sick of being like I had before
Like a stupid standin for I'm standin for
