Jared Dines - Can We Turn Back Yesterday? lyrics

We watched it sweep the nations
Infecting our feeble minds
We saw it begin to divide
Our friends and families, cut us like a knife
We watched our parents' mouth's froth
Rabid with their newfound hate
Reprogrammed by entertainment
Masked as news, inflating them with fear

They're fleeing from violence
They're fleeing from tyrants
Yet we turn 'em away, yet we turn 'em away
Throw 'em to the wolves women and children
Blood is on our hands
Have we gone fucking mad?
They're fleeing from violence
They're fleeing from tyrants
Yet we turn 'em away, yet we turn 'em away
Throw 'em to the wolves women and children
Blood is on our hands
Have we gone fucking mad?

I see the hate in the
World as it's in flames
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"
I watch it all as it withers and decays
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"

Can we turn back yesterday?
Can we turn back yesterday?

I thought we're better than this
Truly sickens me to say
We're killing the planet
And destroying the lives of
The less fortunate

They're fleeing from violence
They're fleeing from tyrants
Yet we turn 'em away, yet we turn 'em away
Throw 'em to the wolves women and children
Blood is on our hands
Have we gone fucking mad?

I see the hate in the
World as it's in flames
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"
I watch it all as it withers and decays
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"

Can we turn back yesterday?
Can we turn back yesterday?

I'm feeling revolted by the
Way that we've chosen
To live by the hatred that's
Invoked by the broken
We've ruined our chances with
These violent romances
We're witnessing the collapse of mankind
As we know it

We watched it sweep the nations
Infecting our feeble minds
We saw it begin to divide
Our friends and families - cut
Us like a knife

They're fleeing from violence
They're fleeing from tyrants
Yet we turn 'em away, yet we turn 'em away
Throw 'em to the wolves women and children
Blood is on our hands
Have we gone fucking mad?

I see the hate in the
World as it's in flames
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"
I watch it all as it withers and decays
I ask myself: "can we turn back yesterday?"

Can we turn back yesterday?
Can we turn back yesterday?

(Can we turn back yesterday?)
(Can we turn back yesterday?)
