Twenty thousand should do the job
The faceless official said
Peace force will keep peace in Lebanon
Dust in the streets clots red
Morality was not discussed
Thought all the points were throughly 'checked'
Growing blind with desparation
The leaders don't see the population fade

You're asking too much

Where are the lines drawn
Is there no compassion
Where have your people gone
The bloodstained generation
Where are the missing
Did they have a choice
This is where machine guns sing
Drowning out the people's voice

You're asking too much
