How Can You Live With Yourself lyrics

Song : How Can You Live With Yourself
 
												
														   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
