Collateral Damage Lyrics

You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
But we know that whoever holds the reins
Nothing will change
Our cause has gone insane

And these wars, they can't be won
And these wars, they can't be won
And do you want them to go on
And on and on
Why split these states
When there can be only one?

And must we do as we're told?
Must we do as we're told?

You and me fall in line
To be punished for unproven crimes!
And we know that there is no one we can trust;
Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust!

And these wars, they can't be won
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on
And on and on
But soon we will see
There can be only one

United States!
United States!
Of

Eurasia!
Sia!
Sia!
Sia!

Eurasia!
Sia!
Sia!
Sia!

Eurasia!
Sia!
Sia!
Sia!

Cover art for Collateral Damage lyrics by Muse

I honestly have a hard time listening to this song in public, I cry nearly every time I hear it. The children in the background are playing and happy, and then you can hear the missile, and suddenly the laughter turns to crying. I break down everytime... And then, there is another missile...

I see something way different when i think of this song. I imagine the children are playing on a playground, and instead of a missle, its a rocket blasting off into space. An American rocket, possibly going to the moon. The children are just watching it as it goes in the sky
