John Rush - How can you Live with Yourself Lyrics

Turned on the TV today I see there once was a family but now there is no more
In just the flash of an eye their dreams all passed them by and I have to wonder just what for
A sudden rumbling, walls are crumbling, fear and confusion all around
Mothers crying while babies are dying, pain and sorrow is what they found

How can you live with yourself knowing what you've done
I hope you're happy with the fame you've won
How can you live with yourself, how do you sleep at night
Can you really think that you're right

You say your life is spent and you blame the government you think they're the root of all your pain
But if your life is poor you can know for sure you're the only one to blame
You say you are right simply because you're white as you preach your hate religion loud
But the book you claim to use was written for the King of Jews and I don't think he's too proud

How can you live with yourself knowing what you've done
I hope you're happy with the fame you've won
How can you live with yourself, how do you sleep at night
Can you really think that you're right

I'll say a prayer tonight in hopes that you might see I'm right and also see how you've been so wrong
But that won't change the fact, you just can't take it back the damage is done and the pain is too strong
Maybe God could forgive but now those families must live without the lives that you stole
Just be glad I'm not the one to punish you for what you've done and may God have mercy on your soul
